Ocean Blue Pavement Quilt with Diamond Border
Pattern: Washington Pavement
Date: c. 1910
Provenance/Notes:
A quilt that beckons summer in her beautiful blue and white blocks that look like little nautical flags
A masterpiece of tiny piecing and gorgeous fan quilting that ripples throughout like waves, all framed by a lovely inset diamond frame
The small squares within each block measure only one inch wide, with each block measuring only 6 inches square.
Hails from Pennysylvania; maker/origin unknown
Washed by hand and in excellent condition, with only one very light residual mark which is hardly noticeable; a few tiny pieces have been replaced with matching period fabric in one block
Measurements: 71” x 73”
$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.

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.
