This is an American antique quilt made circa 1890s’ to 1920’s. The quilt pattern has been called many names over the years. Some of our favorites are the Star of Bethlehem, Diadem Star, Sone Star of Paradise, and our favorite The Knickerbocker Star. This piece has been beautifully hand quilted and hand sewn. Most notably is the abundance of indigo fabric that is in excellent condition. In our opinion this quilt is very thin, and very lightweight with a little loft (puffiness). This jacket has a buttery and very flattering drape. There is a sun fade mark that does not affect the integrity of the fabric. This has been captured in a photo included in this listing for a visual. Please Note: the sleeves are 4” longer than our standard Helen pattern. There are a few very faint age spots and zig zag mends that blend into the quilt. 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.
