North Carolina Lily Quilt
Pattern: North Carolina Lily
Date: c. 1850
Provenance/Notes:
An absolutely exquisite masterpiece, this North Carolina Lily quilt is the work of an expert quilter. The reddish brown flowers are beautifully pieced and the leaves appliquéd with tiny stitches.
Intricate feathered wreaths fill all the negatives spaces. Take a look a the image of the back of the quilt to appreciate the quilting alone!
The quilt is finished with a beautiful overdyed green sawtooth border that brings out the greens in the flowers
A wonderful year-round color scheme in the color of trees
Maker unknown; hails from Maryland
Washed by hand and in excellent condition (she's almost two centuries old!) with just one tiny surface tear and couple tiny marks.
Measurements: 82" x 84"
$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 Craft Emergency Relief Fund (CERF+) to aid their efforts in providing relief to craft artists from the damaging effects of Hurricane Helene. For more about their work, please see www.cerfplus.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.
