Quilt Coat (Log Cabin)

A collar-less quilt coat! This traditional Grandma's Flower Garden quilt coat is actually is unique with its blue background hexies and 5 rings of flower hexies.  Some of the fabrics are vintage feedsacks.

This jacket is modeled on the traditional barn jacket, and snaps closed with 4 antique brass snaps down the front, two patch pockets, and a hangtag. The neckline is finished with a binding from the original quilt. 

The original quilt is quite thick, and accordingly has very little drape. 

m.a.b.e.l’s coats are boxy with a drop shoulder, and hit at mid-hip (depending on your height).

What I love about this one: the 1940s fabrics are just amazing, and the lining is this sweet yellow print.
