Pair of Feedsack Fan Quilts with Ice Cream Cone Borders, Circa 1940s
A festive spring birthday party in a quilt, times two! This pair of feedsack Fan quilts are bursting with the prettiest spring pastels, each block “fanning” with a little library of feedsack fabrics in coordinating color palettes. It’s hard to imagine the loving work that went into creating one of these beauties, let alone two of the same! Take a close look at the impeccable quilting and you will see that the fan motif is echoed in all the negative spaces. Each fan block is also outlined in double quilting. All of this quilting gives the quilts a beautiful texture. The icing on the cake is the festive ice-cream cone border, which is like a pennant banner of feedsack fabrics that goes around the perimeter of each quilt’s three sides. The background fabric has a lovely warm cream tone and the quilts are trimmed in a pretty floral fabric. Both quilts have been washed by hand and are in excellent condition. One has just one tiny light mark and the other a few tiny marks (as pictured) and one corner with the slightest bit of blotchiness to the background fabric (nothing that jumps at you — see photos). A rare pair of treasures to love and enjoy.
Measurements: each quilt about 64” x 94”
Price is for the pair.
$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. Sales tax will be added to any Virginia state orders. Orders shipped to destinations outside of Virginia are not taxed.
All quilts come with a muslin tag noting any known history, and an archival Micron pen for you to add yours.
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.
