Sea Blue Indigo Double Irish Chain Quilt
O sky and sea, and curlew call,
The tinkling chime of wave on wave,
Dream-pearls that deepest ocean pave,
The mighty wonder over all!
Ruby Archer / from A Sea-Memory
White as the ocean’s crest and blue as her rippling waters, this simple, yet masterfully made Double Irish Chain quilt has a timeless charm. Made of a sweet sea blue calico dotted with tiny rings and a dense yet simple quilting pattern, she’s a quiet treasure to enjoy every day. In excellent condition with no flaws to note (just the slightest touch of yellowing to a couple of her edges but hardly perceptible) she has been thoroughly washed by hand and hung to dry and is ready to become your favorite bed or chair-side piece.
Measurements: 74” x 76”
PLEASE SELECT SHIPPING FOR QUILT ($20), NOT FOR A SMALL QUILT PIECE ($10). ORDER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SHIP OTHERWISE.
All quilts come with a muslin tag noting any known history, and an archival Micron pen for you to add yours.
15% of profits from this sale will go towards House of Ruth — an organization in DC that supports women (and their children) who are victims of domestic violence.
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.
