This is an Indian Kantha quilt. Kantha quilts use a straight quilt stitch technique, known as a running stitch, as opposed to the American quilting technique. This is hand quilted. Elizabeth was inspired by her summer travels to Portugal and as a result loves the sardine motif in this fabric. This quilt is very thin, very soft, with no loft (puffiness) or batting. Please note: This fabric is hand block printed in India and there is a small chance of blue dye transfer. We have washed and dried this quilt 3 times since they have been in our showroom, however we still like to warn of potential dye transfer. This Helen jacket has sleeves 3” longer than our stand Helen pattern. Please note: Due to the Kantha quilting technique this pieces is more likely to snag as opposed to American quilting. If you have small children, pets, or wear a lot of jewelry this is something to consider. 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.
