The Aunt Ethel

his is an Antique American quilt. Made circa 1862 we know this because the maker hand embroidered the date, 14 Feb, 1862. We are calling this our Valentine's quilt! This patch can be seen as a focal point on the front of the jacket.  We have reason to believe that the quilt top was made much earlier and the quilt was completed by a different maker. The quilt backing feels like it is a cotton-poly blend which would not have been invented when the quilt top was made. It is a rare treat to see this beautiful brown fabrics in such good shape. Overall this quilt is in excellent condition. There are a few very small age spots throughout that we could not pick up with out high-res camera but we have added an iphone photo at the end of the listing as a visual. In our opinion the quilt is very soft, comfortable to wear, thin, light weight, with a little bit of loft or puffiness. If you have further questions please direct message us and we are happy to send you a video.
