Strawberry and Orange Irish Chain Quilt
A delightful marriage of red and orange delight the eyes in this antique Double Irish Chain quilt. The red is made of a beautiful calico fabric with a tiny woodruff-like design and the orange is a rich cheddar orange. The icing on the cake is the thin cinammon pink trim which adds a beautiful third color. The quilting is expertly and densely executed — see the feathered wreaths in the negatives spaces. This quilt has been washed by hand and is in very good condition for her age. She has a few little shadows of former stains and one intersection of squares where the cheddar has undergone some discoloration. But nothing to take away from the beauty of this quilt! Who will be her lucky new owner?
Measurements: 65” x 81”
Included with this quilt is a hardcover copy of Sophie Blackall’s picture book Farmhouse.
$20 flat rate shipping includes insurance coverage for the full purchase amount.

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.
