Loved Heirloom Double Irish Chain Quilt
A fabulous classic chain design rendered in a gorgeous deep indigo blue with little triple dots like snowmen against a white background, this Double Irish Chain is a quilt of intense and incredible workmanship. Not a thick quilt by any means, but with enough batting to make you do a double take at the density of the quilting! Though this piece has a bit of loving wear, the density of the quilting keeps her very much intact and the slight surface wear only adds to her patina. About five or six squares on the front show this wear; her back has a bit more surface damage, but nothing that can’t easily be remedied by a couple small patches if it becomes necessary. In a lovely larger size, she will drape a bed beautifully, especially for someone who wants something more substantial than a summer-weight quilt. Washed and clean, she’s a keeper!
Measurements: 90” x 93”
$20 flat rate shipping includes insurance coverage for the full purchase amount.

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.
