Pair of Arkansas Star Quilts
A rare find! A pair of twin-sized beauties made with small colorful hand-stitched stars on a cream background, bordered and backed by a beautifully washed and faded apricot. Would be stunning as coverlets on a pair of twin beds, or so special as friendship quilts—one for you and one for a friend! A single one also works nicely as an accent at the base of a larger bed (as shown in photo). These are also particularly stunning as table covers due to the center design and border. Both are in very good condition with no rips or visible fabric wear. These are lightweight quilts — summer blankets or coverlets — with very fine batting between the small sections. No twins are ever exactly alike, and neither are these. One has spent a bit more time in the sun than the other so her border is lighter and has a couple small light stains (as shown), and the other’s border has faded in areas and has a couple of lightly blotchy areas on the back. Truly nothing that detracts from their overall beauty and character in our opinion!
Washed and hung to dry, these twins are ready for their new owner(s). Sold as a pair (price includes both quilts.)
Measurements: 55” x 88” each.
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.
