Sea + Sky Variable Star Quilt
Pattern: Variable Star
Date: c. 1940
Provenance/Notes:
A wonderful, scrappy array of blue fabrics were used to make this pretty quilt, many of them in the indigo and cadet blue family
The lattice print of the sashing and border adds a charming and unifying touch to the quilt
Soft and cozy to the touch, a great everyday quilt to cuddle under
Washed by hand and in very good overall condtiion with just a few small light stains in a couple spots and three tiny sweet repairs (see last couple photos)
Maker/origin unknown
Measurements: 64” x 80”
$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 financial aid fund at Milkwood, NY — a creative retreat center for the children’s book community founded by Sophie Blackall, the author of Hello Lighthouse and many award-winning childrens’ books.
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.
