Orange Tile Mini Quilt
Every morning
the world
is created.
Under the orange
sticks of the sun.
-Mary Oliver/ from “Morning Poem”
A perfect mini for those summer evenings, sitting on the dock or snuggling on the sofa. Or throw it over the back of a chair for a splash of summery orange. This little vintage quilt has a fun four petal pattern made of an array of squares and triangles, sweetened further by the little quilted daisies in white diamond patches. Her border is a thin orange cotton without batting, possibly added at later date. Soft and broken in but in excellent vintage condition, she’s ready to fit into your home. Washed and hung to dry in the sun.
Measurements: 35”x57”
All quilts come with a muslin tag noting any known history, and an archival Micron pen for you to add yours.
10% of profits from this sale will go towards Gray Panthers, a US-based advocacy organization for the elderly whose mission is to combat ageism and achieve social justice through intergenerational collaboration.
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.
