The Aunt Ethel

This is an Antique American quilt made circa 1880's-1910. It is a traditional Thousands of Triangles quilt pattern. This quilt is loaded with rare and highly collectible antique indigo fabrics. This piece is exceptional for its museum worthy hand quilting and meticulous hand sewing. The maker backed this quilt with a cotton muslin fabric. This is a summer weight quilt. It was not made for warmth or comfort, but rather, aesthetics.  It is important to note that the ground fabric is NOT white.  It is more of an almond color and shows tanning throughout.  It is consistent tanning.  As a matter of fact, we cannot be certain if the maker intended the ground fabric to be the current color or if it is discolored from age.  In our opinion the quilt is very thin, very light weight, and is very drapey. This piece is a window into turn of the century quilting. The jacket is walking history.  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.
