Antique Quilts for Sale
These are all quilts that I bought because they fit into the lectures I was doing, or I wanted to repair them, or maybe they came as part of a group. In any case, it's time for them to find a new home. NONE of them are perfect. I like quilts with some damage because I feel you can learn more about the fabrics and construction. Plus I like having quilts that I don't have be anxious about when students handle them. I hope that you can find the special quilt that will make you happy, too:-))

 Stacked
brick quilt. 70" x 85" Tied over cotton wad batting. $100.
The back of the tied quilt is shown below. The color is not quite this intense - I increased the contrast so you could see the details. The value of this quilt is not so much in the c 1900 top but in the 4+ yards of early cheater cloth fabric used as the backing.

 c1920 Brick quilt made of upholstery fabric. Bricks are about 2-1/2 x 3-1/2. Tied to a black backing. $35 |
 c. 1860 Rose of Sharon Four Poster Quilt. I bought this because of the typical New England Four Poster cut out. It seems like the applique was done, then the corners were cut! The whole quilt seems dingy, although I suspect that is because a tan was used as the background rather than a muslin. The quilting is really lovely but the applique is in fair to poor shape. The quilt is about 77" x 75". $75 |

  c.
1940 Signature Quilt.
This quilt has (20) 13" blocks in a 4 x 5 set with a 3" sashing. It measures about 64" x 80" and is hand quilting. It seems to be machine pieced, though, and has some machine mending. There is some damage to it - I would call the condition "good" to "very good". I believe it to be from the general Schoharie NY area but I don't honestly recall. $75 |
  c.
1900 Album Block Quilt.
There are (30) blocks in this quilt, each about 10" square. It measures about 66" x 78". Handquilted. Condition is fair to good. $50 |
  c.
1900 Cowboy Top. This is an interesting top in surprisingly good
condition. I'm not sure of the name of the block, but they are set so that
the zig-zag or streak-of-lightning effect is pronounced. I hope you
can see the horseshoes in all the red four patches!
Each nine patch block is about 14" square. There are half-blocks on the end of two of the rows. It measures about 78" x 87". Ignore what I said about condition at the top of this page - this hand-pieced top is in like new condition. $75 |

Quilt - Trip around the World in Half Square Triangles. |
  Cutter
Quilt - c. 1890 Birds in the Air. 70" x 78". Each block is 9"
square - the HST's are about 1/2 inch. This was donated to the shop to
use in our red and white exhibit. It's worn but still pretty special -
I used it as a table cloth. Some damage here and there - click on the
picture thumbnail to the right to see the damage close up. It's quilted to a
pretty red and white figured backing. Because it was donated, I an
uncomfortable selling it but will happily trade it for a donation to CF.

Quilt - H Block. c. 1920The black used to make the H in this quilt is fragile - probably an iron oxide mordant. Because of that, I would call the condition of this 70" x 75" quilt "fair". |
  Cutter
Quilt. c. 1880 Baskets in double pink sashing. This quilt is in pretty good condition in the middle. You could
easily cut this down and have a nice wall hanging or crib quilt.
Save the cut down part in case you need to do any repairs to the center. The worst damage is shown in the picture to the right. $45 |
  Basket
of Flowers in a Flying Geese Sashing. I think this is a foreign quilt,
relatively newly made but worn. The quilt is about 66" x 84".
Each basket block is about 15" square. The green is running - see the
closeup square to the right. $25. |
  Wholecloth
tied quilt. 74" x 87". Tied with red yarn. The pictures show the
front and the back. I bought this to take it apart and reuse the
fabric - I just never got around to it. I would call the condition
very good to excellent. Be sure to click on the picture thumbnails to see
this up close. There is some wear around the edges, but there still has to
be a good 12 yards of 24" wide 19th century fabric that can be recovered
from this quilt. |
