Indigo Duck Paddle Quilt
Pattern: Duck Paddle
Date: c. 1900
Provenance/Notes:
A quilt rich in the best kind of old indigo fabric, naturally dyed and loved to perfection
It's always a treat to find a quilt with a full indigo background!
Notice the white pinstripes on the fabric used in the Duck Paddle blocks
This quilt was likely once larger but probably trimmed down once the edges showed too much wear. You can see the one wider border that remains along one of the long edges. She is now the perfect size to use as a throw, accent piece, or even on a child's bed.
Hails from Pennsylvania; maker/origin unknown
Washed by hand and is still in very good condition, she has some evidence of love – a few tiny surface wear spots, some light discoloration to the cream in a few of her blocks, and some residual discoloration on the back.
Measurements: 55” x 64”
$20 flat rate shipping includes insurance coverage for the full purchase amount. Price for smaller items have been adjusted (lowered) to account for the lower shipping cost.
International customers: If you enter a shipping address outside of the US, you will not be charged for shipping upon checkout. A separate invoice will be sent once shipping is calculated. If you need a shipping estimate, please reach out ahead of time. Tax will be added only to Virginia state orders. Orders shipped to destinations outside of Virginia are not taxed.
15% of profits from every quilt sale in this next collection will go towards supporting the work of Safelight — an organization we are now supporting for the third year in a row. Safelight is a nonprofit agency in North Carolina that provides support for survivors of interpersonal violence, sexual assault and child abuse. For more, see www.safelightfamily.org
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.
