Twilight Chimney Sweep Quilt
A circa 1910-1920s Amish quilt, this incredible Chimney Sweep is one that has certainly become even more stunning with age. Her original black fabric has faded to a blue-black, and her burgundy patches show beautiful variation. She is expertly quilted with a floral motif throughout the center and has exquisite fan quilting around her wide border, which her dark fabric shows off. The burgundy trim is exquisite — a carefully appliquéd scallop pattern. Turn the quilt over to reveal a glorious purple grape back! This quilt has been washed and hung to dry and is soft to the touch. She’s in excellent condition with just a few marks on her dark background fabric which are not particularly noticeable (see photos). She once graced a wall in someone’s home and has a pole sleeve lightly stitched to her back, which could easily be removed if desired. A truly special find!
Measurements: 70” x 83”
$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.

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.
