This beautiful Devil’s Puzzle quilt is a truly lovely and a celebration of vintage textiles. Measuring 50 x 68.5 inches, it’s made up of 156 pieces of charming vintage shirtings, calicos, and ticking fabrics — each one telling its own story through color and pattern.
The quilt is composed of 12 original hand-pieced blocks, which I purchased as a set and then carefully arranged to create a pleasing balance of color, contrast, and design. The result is a visually striking layout that feels both classic and timeless.
Based on the fabrics and construction, I believe these blocks were originally pieced in the late 1930s to early 1940s. The fabrics are in excellent condition for their age — crisp, bright, and full of vintage character. The quilt has been washed and air dried, with no evidence of color bleeding, ensuring it’s ready to enjoy or display right away.
Whether you’re a collector of vintage quilts, a lover of antique textiles, or simply someone who appreciates the artistry of handwork, this quilt would make a wonderful addition to your home — draped over a chair, folded at the end of a bed, or hung on the wall as a piece of textile art.

STORY OF VINTAGE RESCUE QUILTS
Following my love of Vintage Quilts and Quilt History, I find and source unfinished vintage quilt tops from various places. I then make any repairs needed to the quilt top, including mending loose seams, replacing disintegrated fabrics, and attending to stains that may be treated. I then pair the quilt with a modern fabric backing and batting and quilt it using my longarm quilting machine. I use no computers on my longarm and everything is done manually by hand. In the end, these unfinished quilts from long ago are transformed into quilts that are totally amazing, stunning, and, well, beautiful! Sometimes I'm so struck by a quilt's transformation! It is an honor to bring these beauties into the future and finally give them the ability to be used and loved!
