The Helen

This is an American antique quilt made circa 1930’s to 1940’s. It is a traditional Wedding Ring quilt pattern. The piece has been beautifully hand quilted and hand sewn, which is a labor of love and a lost art. This is a summer weight quilt, meaning that the quilt was made for aesthetics and not for warmth. If you live in a hot climate or do not like lofty (puffy) quilts, this is a great piece for you. It’s super lightweight with no loft or batting. This piece has a beautiful drape and is very flattering to wear. The quilt is in excellent condition for its age. The sleeves on this jacket are 1 1/2” longer than our standard Helen pattern. Please note: the ground fabric on this piece is a true almond and was never meant to be white. If you have further questions, please direct message us and we are happy to send you a video.

• This jacket has two clear snaps that disappear into the fabric at the bottom of the shawl collar to help the lapel drape nicely.
• The Aunt Ethel has slouchy shoulders and a generous fit, keeping in line with its bohemian roots.

 Please note that all of our jackets are made from antique quilts and the fabric reflects this. Our fabrics are sometimes older than 100 years and we believe that makes them perfectly imperfect. This is what makes them a one-of-a-kind piece of art. All of our garments are pre-washed in a special restoration quilt wash. We recommend spot cleaning if necessary.
