Blanket of the Sky Heirloom Double Irish Chain Quilt
Oh, God, make small
The old star-eaten blanket of the sky,
That I may fold it round me and in comfort lie.

A stunning heirloom quality quilt from the late 1800s, this phenomenal Double Irish Chain quilt is made of star-printed indigo calico set against a beautiful off-white fabric and framed with a graphic diamond border. She is densely and expertly quilted, and has a wonderful texture. The two tones of indigo fabric used give this quilt a lovely dimensionality. She is a quilt worthy of a wall in a museum and will be a treasure you will likely keep in your family for generations. She is in excellent condition with no fabric issues to note and just a couple tiny almost imperceptible stains. She has been thoroughly washed by hand and hung to dry. Who will be her lucky new owner?
Measurements: 84” x 84”
PLEASE SELECT SHIPPING FOR QUILT ($20), NOT FOR A SMALL QUILT PIECE ($10). 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 House of Ruth — an organization in DC that supports women (and their children) who are victims of domestic violence.
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.
