Late 19th c. Whole Cloth Quilt
This quilt is one that we rescued from inside of a tattered floral fabric piece that had been sewn over top of it to “save” it. A common practice in the early days of quilting— use an old worn out quilt as batting for the next one.
It was a long recovery and restoration process, unearthing it from the crazy floral covering, but the reward of this beautiful subtle quilt felt worth it.
We love the beautiful interior fabric which has a gauzy muslin quality. A piece that would look really beautiful layered or styled with other textiles.
D E T A I L S
How it’s made: Treadle machine quilted
Weight: Heavy
Measurements laid flat: 71” x 56”

Has wear throughout, a few loose threads, raw edges where the binding has worn away to the batting. Over all sound and usable!
Most importantly: Please do not cut this quilt for a coat or other project. 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.
⋒ This is an antique piece, all photos have been taken in natural light and with limited editing to reflect its condition. Please keep in mind all antique pieces have little imperfections and reflect the story and charm of the piece.
