I’ve carefully examined and inventoried a large group of vintage quilt kits I’ve just acquired.

Here is the information on a group of six Progress Applique Quilt Kits, dating from the late 50’s and early 60’s – these are classic in design and range from the very subtle Progress #1462 – Majestic Poppy, which I posted about last time:

http://www.novascotiaquilts.com/2011/07/progress-1642-majestic-poppy-applique-quilt-kit-as-seen-in-hersschners-1962-63-catalogue.html click this link to view lots of derails on this beautiful kit – I am finding myseld so-o-o tempted to start this one, but I’ll hold off and give my customers first dibs!

The others are classics in jewel bright, glowing colours enhanced by touches of hand embroidery.

Progress #1492 Tree of Life 79x97

Tree of Life – #1492 is a perennial favourite, and is hard to keep in stock. I have it on hand again, and am offering it in sealed condition!

PRICE: Tree of Life, double $395USD + $20USD Shipping = $415USD

Progress #1496 Americana (Eagle and Stars) 71x97 finished size

The above quilt kit, is another favourite, being a patriotic quilt which has been available in one form or another since the late 1800’s – this is a winner as it’s a more subtle, traditional quilt than the red white and blue ones and will suit a period room so well!

PRICE: Americana, double, $395USD + $20USD shipping = $415 USD

Progress #1507 Garden Flowers 79x97 finished size

This one is absolutely breathtaking!! One that seldom appears on the secondary market – I had it only once before, and had pretty much decided I wouldn’t find it again. but here it is!

PRICE: Garden Flowers, double 79×97 $395USD + $20USD Shipping = $415 USD

Progress #1553 Majestic 79x97 finished size

I recently sold the Majestic I had listed, but bonus! it appeared in the large group I recently acquired. So here it is again folks – it is based on the classic chintz palampores that came out of the Coromandel coast of India in the late 17th century, and took Europe by storm – they are still being manufactured by den Haan and Wagenmakker in Holland and I have my eye on one!!!

Price: Majestic double 79×97 finished size $395USD _ $20USD Shipping = $415USD

*****************************************************************************************

Below is Progress #1403 The Iris, double sized finishes to 79×97. This is a lovely kit – very midcentury in feeling and showing lovely colour variations. This is the earlier version in cotton – the later one features 50/50 cotton polyester and is less desirable.

PRICE: The Iris $375USD + $20USD shipping = $395USD

VINTAGE QUILT KITS: AN UPDATE

janet — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 20:53:33 +0000

The other day I was going through my inventory of vintage quilt kits and realized that I have many I haven’t yet posted. So I’ve just spent the afternoon taking photographs and noting down details about each kit. All these kits have been carefully stored and in some cases are still unopened from the factory.

If you see a kit you would like to purchase, email me mailto:janet@novascotiaquilts.com and I will reserve it for you and give you payment details.

Above is a Paragon #01188 Applique quilt kit, 100% cotton and 82×97 or double bed size. It is a Baltimore style design in shades of blue and rose calico and solids – really pretty!! It is called “Garden Bouquet” and I’ve been waiting a long time to find this one aain!

ON HOLD! DECEMBER 29/10 SOLD

Above is Paragon’s vintage applique quilt kit “American Glory” #00147; 81×97 inches worked in reproduction calico and pre-dating the bicentennial in 1976 by quite a few years.
