This is an American Antique quilt made circa 1880's-1919. It is a traditional Irish Chain quilt pattern. This is a quintessential Lancaster County Mennonite quilt. It is very rare and valuable. To see fabrics from this era in pristine condition is always a treat that we do not take for granted! This piece has been beautifully hand quilted and hand sewn. It is in excellent condition. In our opinion the quilt is Lady Lancaster 10/10. You will want to show off the inside of the jacket(backing fabric), by wearing the jacket inside out or by cuffing the sleeves. We were able to put pockets on the inside of the jacket making truly a fashion multitasker! In our opinion the quilt is extremely soft, thin, lightweight, with light to no loft(batting), and has an excellent drape. 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 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.
