Yellow Lily Quilt
Pattern: Single Lily
Date: c. 1880
Provenance/Notes:
A quilt that radiates spring greens and sunshine! 42 pieced and appliquéd Lily blocks made from the prettiest assortment of green and yellow fabrics. Look at the closeups to see the details — the yellow of the petals with “clear” dots from a resist dye method, the green in the sashing sprinkled with buttercups, and the tiny red dots on the yellow squares in the intersections.
A sawtooth border frames the quilt both front and back — an unusual and lovely detail
The fabrics have just a slight touch of fading that gives the quilt a wonderful patina and range of color
This quilt is not thick but has a nice weight to it
Maker/origin unknown
Washed by hand and in excellent condition, with just a couple tiny marks and bits of (beautiful) fading here and there (see last photo)
Measurements: 78” x 89”
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
SHIPPING: $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. Taxes will be added only to Virginia state orders. Orders shipped to destinations outside of Virginia are not taxed.
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. Orders may be subject to VAT/customs fee of the destination country. Please see www.flyinggeese.co/faqs for more information on shipping.
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.
