Spring Flower Garden Quilt
Bring spring inside with this grandmother’s flower garden quilt made in the 1930s from tiny hexagons, each sewn together by hand. With its lovely scalloped edges, it’s one of the prettiest flower gardens we’ve seen! A beautiful array of spring colors on a soft white background. Lightweight with a lovely crisp cotton hand, this is a colorful yet fairly neutral accent for any room and would make a lush table cover. In excellent condition aside for some wear along the edges and one small mark on the front (see photos). Her last home was in Ardmore, PA. Washed, sunned, and ready to grace your space.
Measurements: 70” x 83”
All quilts come with a muslin tag noting any known history, and an archival Micron pen for you to add yours.
10% of profits from this sale will go towards Safelight NC, a domestic violence organization that provides shelter and job training for domestic violence survivors/victims.
Note on antique/vintage quilts: Many of the quilts we sell have been loved, slept under, washed, sunshine dried, taken on picnics, slept on underneath the stars, and lived lifetimes before arriving at our doorstep. You can expect to see repairs made by later generations, fraying around the edges or in certain blocks, discoloration or yellowing, cotton/wool batting—or as we like to call them, tiny sheep—peeking through. They are imperfect, but their imperfections are charming to us and we hope you feel the same. They are reminders to us of their old age and the history to which they've been a witness. We try our best to note any imperfections, but it’s possible we might miss one here and there. Well-crafted, handmade antique quilts in their original form are becoming scarcer, and we believe it's vital that we preserve them and continue to love them, imperfections and all.
Because these quilts are one-of-a-kind and we are a tiny enterprise, we do not accept returns; please review all photos and the description carefully and ask any questions you may have prior to purchasing.
Let it be forgotten, as a flower is forgotten,
Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold,
Let it be forgotten for ever and ever,
Time is a kind friend, he will make us old.
If anyone asks, say it was forgotten
Long and long ago,
As a flower, as a fire, as a hushed footfall
In a long forgotten snow.
