The Aunt Ethel

This is an antique American quilt made circa 1880s to 1910. It is a turn-of-the-century show off! It is a traditional Lancaster County Mennonite Log Cabin quilt. This piece has been beautifully hand quilted and hand sewn, which is a labor of love and a lost art. The maker backed this quilt, inside of jacket, with gorgeous brown calico fabrics. In our opinion, the jacket is very thin, lightweight, and has a little loft (puffiness). This piece looks great when worn upside down and inside out. This jacket is light, easy to wear, and looks great with everything in your closet! The quilt is loaded with so many different brown fabrics from the late 1800s and early 1900s. PLEASE NOTE: Some of these fabrics are vulnerable and this piece should to to a serious collector. This is not a piece for everyday wear and should be treated as art. Please note, there a few very small zig zag mends. If you have further questions, please direct message us and we are happy to send you a video.

 Please note that most of our jackets are made from antique quilts and the fabrics reflect this. Some fabrics can be 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.
