Sunburst Quilt
"But I also say this: that light is an invitation to happiness, and that happiness, when it’s done right, is a kind of holiness, palpable and redemptive."
- Mary Oliver.
The light and vibrance in this quilt are stunning. Though clearly made from a stash of calico scraps, the darker areas of the quilt bring light and vibrance to the lighter areas, creating a lovely dimensionality. The fabrics themselves, cut and pieced into perfect diamonds, are a joy to study and behold. There are at least ten varieties of indigo fabric alone. The background is a fresh spring green, and the back a soft white made of feedsack fabric. Two printed words — PROTEIN — from the feedsacks are still visible along one edge. The quilt is in very good condition with the exception of the sand colored diamonds that have some wear (see photo for example, about 14 total), one tiny seam opening and a couple very light, small stains. She’s a touch irregular so may not lay completely flat on a bed and would be great used as a throw or accent piece. Washed and ready to be a favorite in your home!
Measurements: 72” x 72”
PLEASE SELECT SHIPPING FOR QUILT ($20), NOT FOR A SMALL QUILT PIECE ($8). ORDER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SHIP OTHERWISE.
All quilts come with a muslin tag noting any known history, and an archival Micron pen for you to add yours.
15% of profits from this sale will go towards the Tahiri Justice Center, a national non-profit organization that supports immigrant survivors of gender-based violence. See Tahiri.org for more on their work.
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.
