The Aunt Ethel

This is an American antique quilt made circa 1930’s to 1940’s. This quilt pattern has been called many names over the years such as Magic Circle, True Lover's Knot, and Dumbell Block. This piece is beautifully hand quilted and hand sewn. The quilt is overflowing with novelty fabrics and antique feed sacks from its era. If you look closely you can find some shirt scraps as well. The maker was making use of every little scrap left in their sewing basket. In our opinion the quilt is thin, lightweight with very little loft(puffiness), very soft, and has an excellent drape. The maker backed this quilt(inside of jacket) with a cotton muslin fabric. Please Note: there is some color bleed throughout, this shows on the inside of the jacket and we have added a photo for your convenience. There are a few very minor zigzag mends that blend seamlessly into the quilt. If you have further questions, please direct message us and we are happy to send you a video.

 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.
