The Helen

This is an American antique quilt made circa 1960's-1970's.  We could not find this exact quilt pattern in the quilt encylopedia, however, it is definitely inspired by the Princess Feather.  The quilt is beautifully hand quilted using lavender thread, which makes the stitches a greater part of the overall design.  The quilt is also meticulously hand sewn.  It is in excellent condition, with the exception of a faint water mark on one of the shoulders.   We could not pick the watermark up with our camera because it is too subtle.  In our opinion, this piece is very soft, very thin, very lightweight.  It is flattering to wear and comfortable to wear.  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.
