Scrappy Flat Iron Quilt
A fabulous graphic pattern, a Flat Iron block is similar to a Sugarloaf but with a larger triangle in the middle, creating a fun variety to the triangles throughout the quilt. Although at first glance the black and red blocks may stand out, you slowly realize that there are quite a number of different scrappy fabrics mixed in throughout, which softens an otherwise bold and graphic landscape. The gorgeous overdyed green fabric in the background creates a verdant landscape, and the lines of triple quilting that run across the quilt gave it a wonderful ribbed texture. One block has a mysterious embroidery that reads “NO 20 95” — perhaps Nov. 20, 1895? In excellent shape for being well over a century old, this quilt has about four blocks with some light discoloration to the background fabric, not particularly noticeable in the scheme of things. She has been washed by hand and is clean as can be, and is ready to provide a lovely focal point in your room or in your collection of quilts.
Measurements: 65” x 82.5”

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.
