1870s Lost Ship Quilt

Are we allowed to have favorites?
We are definitely having a hard time letting go of this one, maybe one of the best we have ever found. The gradient of fading with the indigo dyed cotton is strikingly beautiful. It is incredibly soft.
Not sure we’ve ever had so much response to a quilt before via our instagram (and that’s saying something around here…)
A fan favorite all around. Beautiful green calico border and flowered muted red colored calico compliment the blue triangles (or shall we say “ships”) beautifully.

Several small dark stains with one block having more wear than the rest. This quilt will serve you well for a lifetime and then some.

Most importantly: Please do not cut this quilt for a coat or other project my friends. It is too beautiful and in gorgeous condition and a work of art in and of itself. It would be tragic to cut up such a beautiful piece of textile history.
