Quilt Vest - Pastel Feed Sack

This quilt vest was made using a vintage quilt sourced from Minnesota, from the late mid 1920s. It features a stunning color palette made up of pastel feed sack fabrics. It is sturdy & reinforced - but features a lot of wear and tear with age. Note image showing slight discoloration on back.

The pattern created for this vest has been designed to fit a variety of bodies. The sizing is boxy and accommodating to many body types!

This quilt is light weight, perfect for a transition in most seasons!

This quilt uses a 9 patch pattern, and has held up over time. Always remember that this coat is made from an antique quilt that has seen decades of love.
