Vintage Quilt Grandmother's Fan Feed Sack

This cheerful Grandmother’s Fan quilt is full of soft vintage color and timeless cottage charm. Measuring approximately 72"x88", each fan is pieced from an assortment of sweet feedsack fabrics in delicate florals, stripes, and prints that come together beautifully against the striking teal wedges that anchor every fan block. The teal gives this quilt such a fresh, happy feel and perfectly complements the pastel tones scattered throughout the design. Finished with a beautiful scalloped edge that adds even more softness and movement to the overall design, this quilt has wonderful visual charm from every angle. Wonderfully hand quilted with lovely texture throughout and machine bound for durability, it feels both delicate and comforting at the same time.

Likely dating to the 1930s–1940s feedsack era, this quilt carries the resourcefulness and artistry that made these textiles so beloved. The cream backing remains wonderfully clean with no stains noted. There is one small hole present, shown in the photos, though it blends remarkably well into the busy fan pattern and can be difficult to spot unless closely inspected. A beautiful example of a classic Grandmother’s Fan quilt with all the warmth, history, and feel-good vintage soul Janj Threads loves most.
