Lovers' Clover Blossom Quilt
Have you ever seen
anything
in your life
more wonderful
than the way the sun,
every evening,
relaxed and easy,
floats toward the horizon
and into the clouds or the hills,
or the rumpled sea,
and is gone–
and how it slides again
out of the blackness,
every morning,
on the other side of the world,
like a red flower

One of the most romantic renditions of this pattern, this red and floral black Clover Blossom is truly special. Not only is the combination of the beautiful black floral with red unique, but the quilting work is stunning. The texture of the quilt feels as much of the decoration of this piece as the pattern. And lest one might forget how precious fabric used to be a century ago, there is a beautiful little red stamped print that reads ‘55’ in one of the blocks that was once part of a white remnant piece of fabric used for this quilt. This quilt has been thoroughly washed by hand hung to dry and is in excellent condition with just one little loose spot by a flower petal and one tiny mark. A treasure!
c. 1880-1900
Measurements: 67” x 75”
$20 flat rate shipping includes insurance coverage for the full purchase amount. If you need shipping outside the 48 contiguous states (Alaska, Hawaii, worldwide), please choose Local Pickup at checkout and reach out for a separate shipping invoice.
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 Hilliard House in Richmond, VA. Hilliard House is the largest emergency shelter for families with children in Greater Richmond. Families receive not only a safe and welcoming place to sleep, but also meals, housing-focused case management, access to computers and internet, and most importantly, a path to permanent housing.

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.
