Frank’s origin story is unlike any other, which is fitting since Frank the quilt is unlike any we’ve offered so far.
Most of the tops and blocks we source come from trusted sources we know personally, but every once in a while, we find a gem online—and Frank was clearly a gem. When it arrived at the Foundry office, we were shocked to see that it came all the way from … India?? It was true. And the name of the maker was included, along with her picture.
Wherever you are Patel Shibhnaben Kantibhai, we salute you. Frank is absolutely irresistible. Each of those funny characters you created are bursting with personality. We hope you had as much fun making it as we’ve had looking at your wonderful work.

Imperfections: Every Quiltfolk Foundry quilt in our shop began its life as an unfinished vintage top or collection of loose blocks. We seek out lost tops and blocks that are in good condition, but due to the source material’s age and care history, some imperfections in the finished quilts may be present. We hope you’ll see them as we do, just another part of the story.
