Fresh and full of vintage charm, Elsie is the kind of quilt that lights up a room. Measuring approximately 79 x 82 inches, this hand-pieced treasure brings together classic blocks known by many names—Squirrel in a Cage, Single Wedding Ring, Wheel Hall, and Johnnie Round the Corner, according to The Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns. Framed with bright yellow sashing and finished with a soft blue border, Elsie has a warmth and optimism that’s hard to resist.
The blocks are a playful mix of plaids, florals, and shirtings in gentle pastels, earthy browns, and sky blues. The quilt is backed and bound in Kona Evening, a deep, grounding shade that gives balance to the sunny palette. Longarm quilting by Kennette Blotzer of Tall Trees Quilting adds an elegant finish with the Peak Blossoms pattern, bringing gentle curves and floral echoes to the structured blocks. Elsie is joyful and inviting—an heirloom made for gathering, gifting, and cozying up.

We hope you’ll see them as we do—just another part of the story.
