This is an American antique quilt made circa 1890’s to 1920’s. It is a very very rare and museum-worthy Applique Quilt Pattern. This piece was made by a master as it is beautifully hand quilted and hand appliquéd. It is important to note the maker embellished this piece in a way that we do not see frequently. She added a 3D trim around the heart. We understand how rare this is and as a result we made this the focal point of the back of the jacket. This is best understood in our photos and video. In our opinion this piece is extremely thin, very soft, very lightweight, and has a great drape. It is important to note that the sleeves on this jacket are 3” longer than our standard Helen Pattern. Please note there may be tanning marks throughout this quilt. When you hold the quilt up to the light you will see dark marks inside the fabric. These are not stains but cotton seeds. Please note there is a large zig zag mend on the back of the jacket. It blends in with the quilt, but we have added a photo at the end of the listing. 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 and we believe that makes them perfectly imperfect. This is what makes them a one-of-a-kind piece of art. All of our garments are pre-washed in a special restoration quilt wash. We recommend spot cleaning if necessary.
