This is an American, vintage quilt made circa 1970s. It is the traditional Broken Star quilt pattern. This piece is extraordinary for its crips points, its expert hand stitching, hand sewing, and dense hand quilting. Some of the fabrics contained in this quilt are cotton-poly blend fabrics, while others are 100% cotton. This is an absolute show stopper of a jacket and the quilt was made to be a Helen. In our opinion, it is extremely soft, very thin, light weight, with a little bit of loft (puffiness). 

  • This is a very lightweight quilt and also thin. It hugs the body beautifully. It also moves and drapes exceptionally well.
  • This jacket features side slits for generous movement and a beautiful drape.
  • This jacket has two clear snaps at the tips of the collar that secure the lapel if desired.
  • This jacket has two pockets.
  • Fold the architectural collar down to create a lapel if desired.
  • The Helen Jacket has a generous fit and is not meant to have a tailored look.
  • One Size Fits Most

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 old and are perfectly worn. We believe this is what makes them special and is part of their charm. All of our garments are pre-washed in a special restoration quilt wash. We recommend only spot cleaning if necessary.
