The French Aunt Ethel

This is an Antique American quilt. Made circa 1890s to 1920s. It is a traditional Log Cabin quilt pattern. The quilt is beautifully hand quilted and hand sewn, which is a labor of love and a lost art. Overall this quilt is in excellent condition for its age, there are a few zigzag mends throughout. There are also a few patches and minor age discolorations. The backing fabric of this quilt is gorgeous, it is a black and blue floral calico. Which can best be seen when the cuffs are rolled or the jacket is warn upside down. If you like to wear your Ethels upside down or inside out, this is an excellent jacket for you! In our opinion this quilt is extremely soft, lightweight, thin, and with an excellent drape. It is an awesome jacket to wear and the color palete looks great with absolutely everything in your jacket. WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF OUR AUNTIE ETHEL PATTERN. THIS IS OUR FIRST SUCCESFUL VERSION THAT WE ARE OFFERING TO YOU. THIS WILL FIT EXACTLY THE SAME BUT IS NOW COMPLETELY REVERSIBLE JUST LIKE OUR HELEN.
