Vintage 1940s-60s Pastel Tied Crazy Quilt

This crazy quilt appears to have started its life in the 1940s and continued to be used and repaired through the 1960s. There are patches over patches in some areas of this well loved piece. The fabrics are all cottons. The older fabrics have faded to soft pastels and the new fabrics have a bit more saturated color. It was all hand sewn except for the backing. The light blue cotton backing was most likely a replacement at some point it its life and is machine sewn along the edges. It was then hand tied. The ties are thinner white thread instead of yarn, so are more subtle. It has that wonderful broken in cotton hand feel that makes vintage pieces so great. This piece could use another round of TLC, but has lots of life still left in it. It has scattered shattered patches throughout, but no through holes or very noticeable spots.

Quilt Dimensions: 74 x 86

• All quilts are vintage ranging from 45 to 95 years old. They have been well-loved and will show wear from use which may include: loose/open seams, shattered patches, small holes or tears, fading, spots.
• We try to point out any major wear, but every instance of normal wear will probably not be pictured. Instead we try to give a good description of overall condition so you know what to expect.
• All of our quilts, unless noted, have been hand washed with mild detergent and laid out to dry. They are washed to refresh them, not with the goal of spot or stain lightening/removal. You may be able to lighten stains with additional treatment, but it's unlikely that you will be able to completely remove stains of this age.
• All measurements should be viewed as approximate with a margin of error of 1 inch.
• Standard US mattress dimensions are as follows. Use this as a reference to understand how a piece might fit on your bed: Twin - 39 x 75, Full - 54 x 75, Queen - 60 x80, King - 76 x 80.
