Red Crow's Nest Quilt
The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.
Robert Frost / Dust of Snow
A classic red and white beauty, this Crow’s Nest quilt was made by loving, expert hands. The crisp angular shapes of the red Crow’s Nest blocks juxtapose beautifully with the soft feather wreath quilting in all of the in-between spaces. Note the feathered quilting that snakes around the edges, over and across the red and white border. This quilt in excellent condition with just a few tiny pinprick marks, a mark of the quilter’s hard work with needle and thread. Freshly washed by hand and soft to the touch, this quilt will be a gorgeous accent in your home year round (or a great addition to a red and white collection…!).
c. 1910
Measurements: 74” x 88”
$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.

15% of profits from this sale will go towards Hilliard House in Richmond, VA. Hilliard House is the largest emergency shelter for families with children in Greater Richmond. Families receive not only a safe and welcoming place to sleep, but also meals, housing-focused case management, access to computers and internet, and most importantly, a path to permanent housing.

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.
