Pieced Camellia Quilt
Pattern: A Rose Variation
Date: c. 1860-1880
Provenance/Notes:
An incredibly special quilt made with the most exquisite colors and fabrics, pieced and quilted by the hands of a master quilter
Fabrics to note — the textured wool blend bright blue floral, the red dotted background in the flower blocks, the two printed pink fabrics, and the naturally dyed green and walnut browns
Notice the beautiful piecing around the curves of each segment of the flower and each bud
A lovely scrappy trim in a bright orange cheddar, with a few sections of grey fabric
Washed by hand and in great condition for her age, with just a slight overall toning in the background of the flower blocks and a bit of fading here and there, most notable on the green and brown solid fabrics
From a prolific quilt collection of a prominent Northern Virginia estate
Measurements: 72” x 90”
15% of profits from every quilt sale in this collection will go to Tubman, Minnesota’s largest provider of domestic violence shelter services. For more, see tubman.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.
