This is an American Antique quilt made circa 1920s-1940s. It is a traditional Princess Feather Applique quilt. This piece is exceptional for its museum worthy and very dense hand quilting, and its meticulous hand sewing. It's very rare that an applique from this time period survives the test of time in this way. We found a tiny heart mend from the original owner. It is placed on the sleeve and we have included a photo at the end of the listing. In our opinion this quilt is very thin, very light weight, and extremely comfortable to wear. There is some visible fabric thinning on the center's of the flowers. It is not fabric breakage but it is definitely thinning. This is a piece that we suggest handling with kid gloves. This is an artistic piece for your closet and should not be bought by someone who is looking for a quilt jacket to throw on the daily. We assigned a charming story book tag from a children's cloth book circa 1920. We have added some iphone photos at the end of the listing that display some age marks, fabric thinning and the tag and heart.
