The Aunt Ethel

This is a highly collectible American antique Amish quilt. We do not know the exact date this piece was made, however, we do believe this to be made by the Nebraska Amish. It is a traditional Irish Chain quilt pattern. It is very rare to find a black quilt and we are thrilled to be offering this in our December Collection. This piece was made by a master! It is meticulously hand sewn. It is also hand quilted and the maker changed thread color based on the fabric color she was quilting over. The backing fabric color is a pale lavender which makes this jacket a great piece to wear inside out and upside down. In our opinion the quilt is very lightweight with an excellent drape. There are a few zig zag mends throughout we have captured the largest and included a photo at the end of the listing. This jacket is made with very soft luxe cotton. Please Note: the sleeves are 1.5” shorter than our standard Ethel pattern. If you have further questions, please direct message us and we are happy to send you a video. 

• The shawl collar allows for several different style options. This jacket is meant to be worn right side up or upside down.
• 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.
• One Size Fits Most - Model is 5’4 and approximately 125lbs

 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.
