This is an American Antique quilt made circa 1930's-1940's. It is a traditional Grandma's Garden Quilt Pattern. This piece has been beautifully hand quilted and hand sewn. It is exceptional for its elevated hexi border in solid candy apple red. The quilt contains many novelty and feedsack fabrics. The maker gave us the gift of backing this quilt(inside of jacket) with a cherry red fabric. This fabric coordinates with the hexi border that we were able to save and show off on the bottom hem of the jacket. The ground fabric is a true almond and was never intended to be white. It is in excellent condition. In our opinion the quilt is soft, thin, lightweight, with little to no loft (batting), and has a great 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.
