The Aunt Ethel

This is an Antique American quilt made circa 1890's-1920's. It is a traditional Lone Star quilt pattern with satellites. This piece is beautifully hand quilted and most of the quilt has been hand sewn . It seems as though the maker added the satellites with a sewing machine after completing the quilt top. This quilt is filled with a variety of turn of the century fabrics, rare and valuable indigos, and the center of the star is a quintessential Cheddar fabric. Please note:  due to the era of fabrics, there will be fabric weakening/breaking if this piece is worn hard. In our opinion, this piece is soft, thin, light weight with little to no loft, and has an excellent drape. PLEASE NOTE: there are a few zig zag mends that blend into the jacket. We have added a photo at the end of the listing of a mend on the shawl as an example. 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.
