We couldn’t bear to separate them!
For the first time, Quiltfolk is selling a pair of Foundry quilts together. Meet Loretta and Lynn, a set of baby (or toddler, or wall) quilts constructed from loose blocks likely made sometime in the 1930s. And what can we say? The cheery checkerboard blocks in orange, pink, and green radiated a kind of sweet country energy. Who better to name the quilts after than the queen of that sort of liveliness? Loretta Lynn, naturally.
Of course it’s up to you if you want to keep these cuties as a set or take one and gift the other. Wherever they go, they’ll keep that country energy.
Dimensions: 41 x 51 in.
Block source: J.A. Antiques & Vintage of Littleton, Mass. Original maker unidentified.
Started: ca. 1930-1950.
Finished: 2023.
Description: Eight Checkerboard blocks (16-patch) in pastel green and orange prints. Bright white polka dot sashing with pastel pink cornerstones.
Backing: Vintage floral cotton fabric.
Finishers: Piecing by Mary and Marianne Fons. Longarm quilting by Jackie Heckathorn of Iowa.
Condition: Excellent.
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.
