Summer Sky Shoofly Quilt
An exquisitely rendered quilt that feels like a summer night full of stars and fireflies! One hundred small-scale 5” square Shoofly blocks were meticulously pieced in a fantastic assortment of shirting fabrics — a fabric lover’s dream! These were then set against a rich indigo background speckled with twinkling white dots. The horizontal lines of quilting create a beautiful texture. Her back is a lovely faded blue-grey. She has been washed by hand and is in excellent condition with just one small triangle that has some wear and some fold marks on back. She is a great quilt to enjoy this summer and year-round and will make a fantastic addition to your collection.
Measurements: 70” x 71”

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.
