1890s Floral Strippy Quilt
A simply stunning circa 1890s quilt which likely travelled across the Atlantic at some point from Northern England or Ireland, this quilt came from the collection of Maggi Gordon —an author, editor, collector, and quiltmaker with a special interest in the history of quilts and quilt making. This piece, along with the Dusk Bar quilt, was featured in the “Crossing the Atlantic Exhibition” at the Pasadena Museum of History, 2016.
This quilt is one that will truly take your breath away! She is made with the most beautiful strips of varied printed fabric, and gorgeously quilted with floral and leaf motifs that weave in and out along the strips. Zoom in to see how beautiful each of the fabrics are, and how lovely they are in contrast to each other. In excellent condition with no notable flaws and soft to the touch, this quilt is a beauty that will bring you joy year-round!
Measurements: 82” x 85”
$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.
