The Aunt Ethel

This is an Antique American quilt. Made circa 1890s-1910s. It is a traditional Shoofly quilt pattern. This piece has been beautifully hand quilted and hand sewn, which is a labor of love and a lost art. The quilt is overflowing with rare and valuable indigo fabrics. It is a treat to find these fabrics this well preserved. The maker backed this quilt with a small scale black and white polka dot fabric. This can best be appreciated when the cuffs are rolled or the jacket is worn upside down.  Please Note:  This is a very thin quilt.  There is not batting or loft.  It is considered to be a summer weight quilt.  . It was not made for warmth, but rather, aesthetics.  In our opinion the quilt is extremely thin, very light weight, soft, and is extremely drapey. This quilt is in great condition, a true gift , especially for a piece from this time period. 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.
