1940 Pink Appliqué Quilt Jacket

This one-of-a-kind jacket has been lovingly handcrafted from a beautiful vintage appliqué quilt featuring cheerful pastel “flower” or “lollipop” motifs in blush pink, butter yellow, lavender, and sage green. Every stitch carries the story of a quilt that was treasured for decades before being thoughtfully transformed into something that can be worn and loved all over again.
Quilts like this were often made in the mid-20th century, around the 1940s–1960s, during a time when quilts were more than blankets—they were family heirlooms. Women would gather to stitch them by hand, often using scraps saved from clothing and feed sacks, creating practical works of art that celebrated home, resourcefulness, and community. The cheerful appliqué design reflects the optimistic, playful style that became popular after the Second World War.
Rather than allowing this quilt to spend another lifetime folded away in a cedar chest, it has been given a second life as wearable art.
