Pot of 'Moonflowers' Quilt
Pattern: Pot of Tulips Variation
Date: c.1930-1940
Provenance/Notes:
A celebration of flowers! This joyful quilt was exquisitely pieced, appliquéd, and quilted by a master of the craft in wonderful fabrics against an off-white background
So many details to notice, from the tiny ridges at the tops of the circular flowers, to the micro-grid green fabric used for the stems and leaves, and the quilting outlining each of the flowers and pots
The back is made of a gorgeous pink floral fabric, which was then turned to create the trim of the quilt
This quilt is not thick, but has a nice weight to it, and great texture.
Maker/origin unknown
Washed by hand and in excellent condition
Measurements: 60” x 83”
15% of profits from every quilt sale in this next collection will go towards supporting the work of Safelight — an organization we are now supporting for the fourth year in a row. Safelight is a nonprofit agency in North Carolina that provides support for survivors of interpersonal violence, sexual assault and child abuse. For more, see www.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.
