Rose Leaf Quilt
Pattern: Rose Leaf Variation
Date: c. 1880
Provenance/Notes:
An incredibly beautiful quilt with verdant, playful leaves blooming from turkey red centers, set against a crisp white background
This quilt is very densely quilted in a simple diagonal grid pattern — a pleasing contrast to the organic blocks. The squares in the quilting are just a little over half an inch wide! See the photo of the back that highlights the beauty of the quilting.
A lovely hand-applied green trim on all edges
Maker/origin unknown
Washed by hand and in great condition with just a few very light small residual marks, one tiny place on the turkey red that is starting to show wear, and one area of residual staining on back (see last three photos)
Measurements: 87” x 88”
15% of profits from every quilt sale in this next collection will go towards supporting the work of Safelight — an organization we are now supporting for the fourth year in a row. Safelight is a nonprofit agency in North Carolina that provides support for survivors of interpersonal violence, sexual assault and child abuse. For more, see www.safelightfamily.org
SHIPPING: $20 flat rate shipping includes insurance coverage for the full purchase amount. Price for smaller items have been adjusted (lowered) to account for the lower shipping cost.

International customers: If you enter a shipping address outside of the US, you will not be charged for shipping upon checkout. A separate invoice will be sent once shipping is calculated. If you need a shipping estimate, please reach out ahead of time. Orders may be subject to VAT/customs fee of the destination country. Please see www.flyinggeese.co/faqs for more information on shipping.
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.
