Spring Garden Nine Patch Quilt
Pattern: Offset Nine Patch
Date: c. 1880
Provenance/Notes:
A beautiful scrappy assortment of 19th century fabrics in ninety offset Nine Patch blocks against a rich yellow ground with tiny black and red print
This quilt brings forth the earthy colors of the spring garden, with little pops of blue that bring in the sky
Wonderful quilting throughout, with a feather pattern around the border
A lovely thin double pink trim that contrasts with a yellow ground and a gorgeous earthy brown plaid back
Hails from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia; maker/origin unknown
Washed by hand and in excellent condition with just 11 out of the 810 squares replaced with period fabric (example shown with brown squares in last photo, though they are hard to find because they are so expertly repaired!)
Measurements: 72” x 77”
15% of profits from every quilt sale in this collection will go to Tubman, Minnesota’s largest provider of domestic violence shelter services. For more, see tubman.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. Taxes will be added only to Virginia state orders. Orders shipped to destinations outside of Virginia are not taxed.
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.
