This is an antique American quilt made circa 1880s to 1920s. It is a traditional Irish Chain quilt pattern with an elevated sawtooth border. The quilt has been beautifully hand quilted and hand sewn. This piece is an absolute museum-worthy quilt. The maker backed the quilt(inside of jacket) with rare homespun gingham fabric. This can best be appreciated when the sleeves are cuffed. The quilt is extremely thin, extremely soft, and lightweight with little to no loft (puffiness). It is very rare to find quilts with an earth tone palette like this and we are thrilled to offer this piece. Please note, the sleeves are 2” longer than our standard Helen pattern. Overall, this quilt is in excellent condition for its age. This is a true turn of the century textile masterpiece.

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.
