Triple Sunflower Appliqué Quilt
Pattern: Sunflower Appliqué
Date: c. 1870
Provenance/Notes:
A stunning appliqué quilt with a lovely triple sunflower design in each of the nine panels against a brilliant yellow fabric with tiny red and black print which was often used as a ground fabric in quilts beginning in the 1830s
If you look closely, you see the beautiful human hand in the slightly varying twists, turns, and curves of the stems and leaves of the flowers
Notice the richness of the solid green and turkey red fabrics — the closeups reveal a lot about this quilt!
Washed by hand and in excellent condition for her age, with just a couple very small light residual marks and a couple tiny places where the appliqué needs a tack down
From the prolific quilt collection of a prominent Northern Virginia estate; maker/origin unknown
Measurements: 61” x 79”
15% of profits from every quilt sale in this collection will go to Tubman, Minnesota’s largest provider of domestic violence shelter services. For more, see tubman.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.
