1940 Circle Appliqué Quilt Jacket

A true one-of-a-kind heirloom, lovingly handcrafted from a vintage circle appliqué quilt dating to approximately the 1940s.
This beautiful quilt features a classic circle appliqué design, a pattern that became especially popular during the 1930s and 1940s as quilters transformed treasured fabric scraps into works of art. Many of the circles are made from delicate florals, charming plaids, and feedsack-inspired cotton prints, preserving a wonderful piece of textile history in every stitch.
Instead of spending its life folded away in a cedar chest, this remarkable quilt has been thoughtfully reimagined into a timeless jacket that can be worn and enjoyed for generations to come.
