Eva
$420.00
This top was forgotten in an attic and ended up at Reawaken Quilts. She had lots of little defects, stained, and was really dirty. She is a very scrappy quilt and completely hand-pieced, full of beautiful vintage prints that you won't to find anywhere else. We're not quilt top dating experts but we estimate she was put together sometime in the 1930's or 1940's. She has been carefully cleaned and mended. We quilted Eva with modern 40-wt polyester thread for strength. We used brand new 100% natural cotton batting and a new old-stock vintage bedsheet for the back. She was edge-to-edge quilted with the Feathered Party pattern from Anne Bright Designs and given a fancy new binding.

This is a Reawaken Quilt:
Every quilt that comes to us arrives unfinished — a top that someone pieced years ago and then set aside. Before it leaves us, it goes through all of this:
-
Inspected stitch by stitch, front and back
-
Repaired by hand where seams have given way or fabric has worn thin
-
Gently cleaned using methods safe for fragile vintage cotton
-
New batting and backing, chosen to suit the top's weight and era
-
Custom quilted on our Bernina longarm — a pattern picked for this quilt, not a default
-
Hand-finished binding
The result is not a fragile antique to be kept behind glass. It's a finished quilt that is durable, machine washable, and meant to be used.
