11” Primitive antique quilt kittens RARE folk art tattered bowl filler, handmade cat tier tray table display, Prim cupboard tuck shelf sit

I came across a RARE and tattered 19th century finely detailed quilt piece which I have repurposed into a super primitive cat/kitten pillow. I added a heart patch on the front in contrasting red & beige, 2 vintage 'eyes' and whiskers for the largest cat. This is the rarest of rare quilts. I will make other pieces, but the rarity of this quilt demands that I make each piece different. This ultra rare quilt is continued on the reverse for the largest piece in this set, which makes it more costly to handcraft.

This quilt is quite old- it displays many layers of quilting and ancient batting with contrasting stitches. I cut through the layers to display this technique. Although it is tattered and well-worn, it still has such a lovely coloring that is perfect as a primitive cat/kitten. The reverse for the largest cat is from the same quilt. I added a jute bow. The 3 smaller bowl fillers are rare green quilt appliqued onto a pretty timeworn yellow quilt with reverse cutter quilt pieces, as shown.

This cupboard shelf sit primitive kitten will compliment any primitive, farmhouse, shabby cottagecore or farmhouse inspired rustic decors. It also would make a thoughtful statement gift.

This worn & tattered antique quilt cat can make a nice bowl filler, or displayed alone on a tray or as a cupboard tuck shelf sit.

THERE ARE THREE KITTENS- please select the one you would like- or imagine a bowl of them!

1: The largest is aproximately 11 inches tall and 5 inches wide with a heart patch.
2 (a): Kitten bowl filler: red/beige/green quilt for the cat which is the same as the large one, 2 hand sewn eyes and yellow front/ cutter quilt on the reverse. 7 h x 6 w.
(b): Kitten bowl filler: Green quilt on the front for the cat, Jute bow and bell, 2 hand sewn eyes and yellow front/cutter quilt on the reverse 7h x 6w.
(c): Kitten bowl filler: Green quilt on the front, jute bow, 2 hand sewn eyes and yellow front/cutter quilt on the reverse 7h x 6w.

Please note the worn nature of the antique quilt as there is some tea staining which adds to its charm. The price reflects the rarity of antique textiles which are getting increasingly hard to find - and as I added the same rare quilt to the reverse, the textiles to make this one of a kind heart are therefore more costly.

Not a toy. Please note that as with any vintage or antique textiles, there are worn areas which add to their charm. Returns not accepted for unique items such as this one.
