Mariner's Compass Quilt
Pattern: Mariner’s Compass
Date: c. 1900
Provenance/Notes:
A beautiful, complex, and mesmerizing pattern made in the prettiest array of scrappy fabrics
Take a moment to look at the closeups to enjoy the detailed prints in the fabrics, many of them indigo calicos and white shirtings, and notice the lovely curvature in the piecing
The back is a wonderful faded blue
This quilt hails from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia; maker/origin unknown
Washed by hand and in excellent condition with just a bit of fading on back edges and back fold line.
Measurements: 64” x 80”
$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 the financial aid fund at Milkwood, NY — a creative retreat center for the children’s book community founded by Sophie Blackall, the author of Hello Lighthouse and many award-winning childrens’ books.
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.
