Vintage Quilt Scrappy Grandmother's Fan

This charming Scrappy Grandmother’s Fan Quilt, circa 1930s–1940s, measures 67" x 80" and features colorful fan blocks set against a generous white background with soft buttery-yellow centers. The fans are made from a wonderful assortment of vintage cottons, including small-scale florals, plaids, checks, stripes, geometrics and dress prints, with possible feedsack fabrics mixed throughout. The quilt has thin batting and is tied with pink yarn, adding a sweet decorative touch to the simple, scrappy design.

The quilt is finished with an applied, hand-stitched pink binding, which appears to have been replaced at some point in its history—likely a practical repair that helped extend the life of the quilt. Condition is consistent with age and use, with some seam separation within the fan blocks and yellowing on the backing. A wonderfully handmade quilt filled with colorful fabrics, make-do charm and plenty of vintage character.

This quilt has not been laundered by Janj Threads.  

  • Condition: Fair shows wear with some seam seperation.
  • Circa: 1930s–1940s: Based on the colorful assortment of period cotton prints, including possible feedsacks and dress fabrics, along with the scrappy Grandmother’s Fan design and tied construction, this quilt most likely dates to the 1930s–1940s.
  • Batting: Thin
  • Standout: Pretty yellow fan centers!
