Paper Boats at Sea Quilt
When night comes I bury my face in my arms and dream that my
paper boats float on and on under the midnight stars.
The fairies of sleep are sailing in them, and the lading is
their baskets full of dreams.
-Rabindranath Tagore, from Paper Boats
An incredibly charming quilt made in the Lost Ship pattern, this quilt feels like a fleet of paper boats let loose at sea. Her randomly placed darker colors - the indigo and the claret - set against the lighter boats pieced in gingham, stripe, and calico fabrics, add a whimsical touch. With her assortment of different fabrics, she’s the kind of quilt that’s fun to gaze at while on your lap. Her background is a beautifully quilted crisp white and she has no flaws to note other than the faintest touch of bleed near a couple claret boats (hardly noticeable) and some fading over time. Freshly washed and squeaky clean, she is ready to sail into her new home.
Measurements: 80” x 84”
PLEASE SELECT SHIPPING FOR QUILT ($20), NOT FOR A SMALL QUILT PIECE ($10). ORDER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SHIP OTHERWISE.
All quilts come with a muslin tag noting any known history, and an archival Micron pen for you to add yours.
15% of profits from this sale will go towards House of Ruth — an organization in DC that supports women (and their children) who are victims of domestic violence.
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.
