The Aunt Ethel

This is an antique American quilt top made circa 1890's-1920. It is a traditional Postage Stamp quilt pattern. It contains beautiful turn of the century fabrics in pristine condition. The top is beautifully hand quilted. We took this orphaned top and paired it with reproduction fabric from the same era, you will want to show this off by cuffing the sleeves. For this very purpose we made the sleeves 2" longer. This piece is not hand quilted, our good friend Zoe Dawn quilted this on her long arm. If you are looking for a piece to wear upside down and inside out, this is a great option for you. It is truly a fashion multi tasker. It is also rare to find quilts from this era with black fabrics in pristine condition. We have added a few photos below of the jacket worn upside down. In our opinion the quilt is soft, thin, light weight, with an excellent drape. If you have further questions, please direct message us and we are happy to send you a video.

• The Aunt Ethel has slouchy shoulders and a generous fit, keeping in line with its bohemian roots.

 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.
