Wild Rose Quilt
Pattern: Wild Rose Appliqué with Stuffed Work
Date: c. 1850-1870
Provenance/Notes:
A magnificent heirloom quilt, made almost two centuries ago, by the hands of a master quilter(s), in the most beautiful interpretation of a Wild Rose appliqué pattern, framed by a rich floral vine border
The quilting in this piece is phenomenal! Look at some of the closeups to see the detailed stuffed work in the shapes of leaves and flowers, as well as the dense quilting throughout the entire quilt (lines less than 1/4” apart in many areas)
The turkey red and green fabrics have retained vibrancy over the years. This quilt was used but well preserved.
Notice the lovely varying curves in each of the roses — each cut and appliquéd by hand
Pennsylvania origin; maker unknown
Washed by hand and in excellent condition for her age with just a few tiny marks on front, and a smattering of small marks on back (some of them seem to be pinprick stains — a testament to the incredibly laborious work of the quilter’s hands (see last two images)
Measurements: 83” x 84”
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 fourth 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.
