Scrappy Flying Geese Quilt
From the complications of loving you
I think there is no end or return.
No answer, no coming out of it.
Which is the only way to love, isn’t it?
-Mary Oliver / from A Pretty Song
A beautiful scrappy symphony of geese in a wonderful assortment of indigos, chambray, and shirting fabrics, this quilt has been understandably loved. She is mesmerizing from a distance and fun to study up close. Over time quite a number of her triangles have become worn, and some of them have been replaced, several with a sweet floral fabric. A few of the triangles are mended more roughly and her binding is worn. Her back is a surprising and sweet mini floral print fabric with greens and orange. She is a sweet, cozy quilt to enjoy, but also makes for a lovely folded accent. She has been washed and hung to dry and is ready to be loved.
Measurements: 71” x 77”
$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.

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.
