This is an antique American quilt made circa 1930's-1940's. It is a traditional Trip around the World Quilt Pattern. This specific quilt was made by a prolific quilter named Viola Smith, she signed this quilt. We have preserved her provenance and sewn it inside the shawl collar please see photos below. Viola hand quilted and hand sewed this piece. In our opinion it is a Lady Lancaster 10/10 and it is in excellent condition. It is the most soft cotton you can imagine! Viola backed the quilt(inside of jacket) with a coordinating pastel green fabric. You will want to cuff your sleeves or wear this jacket upside down! The jacket is thin, lightweight, and has a fabulous 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 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.
