Double Nine-Patch Eight-Point Star Quilt
Pattern: Double Nine Patch / Eight Point Star Combination
Date: c. 1880
Provenance/Notes:
The epitome of a beautiful, scrappy, primitive quilt made with a rich indigo background (and back!) with blocks that include some of the prettiest 19th century colors and prints
Note the tiny nine-patch squares in the corners of each block
Maker/origin unknown
This quilt has been loved and about a third of the blocks show some wear to the (mostly) brown fabrics (see last photo for example). There is some shifting of batting throughout. A few repairs have been beautifully done to reinforce the continued life of the quilt.
This quilt has been carefully but thoroughly washed and is ready to be a beautiful accent on a bed or in a quilt collection stack. A wonderful study piece as well!
Measurements: 68.5” x 83”
$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.
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. Tax will be added only to Virginia state orders. Orders shipped to destinations outside of Virginia are not taxed.
15% of profits from every quilt sale in this next collection will go towards supporting the work of Safelight — an organization we are now supporting for the third year in a row. Safelight is a nonprofit agency in North Carolina that provides support for survivors of interpersonal violence, sexual assault and child abuse. For more, see www.safelightfamily.org
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.
