This is an antique, American quilt made circa 1890's-1910. It is the traditional Feathered Star quilt pattern. This piece is both hand quilted and hand sewn. It is extraordinary for its tiny tiny pieces. The hand skill and workmanship in this quilt is museum quality. In our opinion, this quilt is thin, lightweight, with very little loft. It moves and drapes beautifully. While the integrity of the fabrics are in excellent condition, there is substantial color bleed throughout this quilt. The quilt also presents some sun fading throughout. If you love to wear your Helen jackets inside out, this is not the jacket for you. The inside of this jacket shows lots of green and cheddar color bleed.

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.
