Spring Sunburst Quilt
Pattern: Unknown (a creative variation on the Sunburst pattern, perhaps)
Date: c. 1870-1880
Provenance/Notes:
Such a playful, whimsical design in a pattern that is hard to pinpoint and is likely a creative take on the Sunburst pattern by the maker
Little squares, triangles, and circles dance throughout, with two variations on a radiating sun pattern
A beautiful assortment of colors – indigo, green, pink, and brown
The incredibly dense quilting holds the quilt together beautifully despite some of the fabric wear. Note the feather wreath pattern around the larger circles.
Colorful circles decorate the perimeter of the border
Maker/origin unknown
Washed by hand, this quilt shows some loving wear. There is light fabric wear and fading throughout, predominantly on the brown and red fabrics. A couple of the perimeter circles are lifting and could be tacked down with a few stitches.
Measurements: 72” x 73”

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.
