Forest Music Postage Stamp Quilt
The whole wild wood is one vast instrument
Of thousand, thousand keys; and all its notes
Come in sweet harmony
-Hannah Flagg Gould / from Forest Music
An absolutely delightful 9-patch quilt with postage stamp sized squares from circa 1880-1900, this quilt might become your favorite one to grab on a gloomy day. The fabrics are cheerful and wonderful — a variety of calico and shirting fabrics, punctuated by grassy green calicos and finished with a diagonally striped candy cane border. The outermost edge is double line quilted in a paisley fabric the color of a conch shell, which the quilter included throughout the quilt as well. Heads up to dog lovers! A charming dog print fabric is included in several of the blocks. Washed by hand and in excellent condition, this quilt is ready for her new owner!
Measurements: 70” x 82”
$20 flat rate shipping includes insurance coverage for the full purchase amount.
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 Partnership Against Domestic Violence (PADV) — an organization in Atlanta, Georgia that supports women and children survivors of domestic violence through various initiatives. To learn more about their work, visit their website at https://padv.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.
