Midnight Snowflakes Quilt
Snow was falling,
so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being was nothing more
than prettiness.
Mary Oliver / from Snowy Night
An homage to the long nights of the winter season, this gorgeous black Amish-made quilt with bluebird blue and warm pink accents is a true stunner. Made with a rich black cotton sateen and masterfully quilted, she glows yet is soft and cozy. She’s backed by a soft dusty cotton fabric that has faded some over time. The black fabric has a touch of variation in places and the way the light catches all the bumps and curves in the quilting is delightful. She’s been beautifully preserved and is in excellent condition with the only obvious evidence of age being some faded fold marks on the back. A beautiful way to welcome the long winter season!
c. 1910-20
Measurements: 65.5” x 84”
$20 flat rate shipping includes insurance coverage for the full purchase amount. If you need shipping outside the 48 contiguous states (Alaska, Hawaii, worldwide), please choose Local Pickup at checkout and reach out for a separate shipping invoice.

15% of profits from this sale will go towards Hilliard House in Richmond, VA. Hilliard House is the largest emergency shelter for families with children in Greater Richmond.

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.
