Flowers and Moons Log Cabin Quilt Top
The moon was but a chin of gold
A night or two ago,
And now she turns her perfect face
Upon the world below.
Emily Dickinson, from The Moon
An exquisitely beautiful quilt top made in the Barn Raising Log Cabin pattern, this piece hails from the estate of Maggi Gordon, a well respected quilt historian, author, and collector. And collector-worthy this quilt top is! The array of mid 1800s fabrics on this piece are incredible. Each block is sewn on a different foundation, very likely a collaborative effort by a group of women. Some are done by hand and others by machine. The back itself is a sight to behold, with the collection of mostly old shirting fabrics that have been used as foundation pieces for the blocks. The quilt top has been beautifully preserved, and has only a few very light small stains on front and a couple stained areas on back. See photos. A wonderful piece to finish or enjoy as is!
Measurements: 63” x 74”
$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 Safelight, a North Carolina-based nonprofit agency that provides support for survivors of interpersonal violence, sexual assault and child abuse. For more, see 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.
