Grandmother's Garden Coat
This coat is made from a vintage hand quilted quilt. It had some small damaged that I have hand repaired. I think the quilt was made in the 80’s time frame from the burgundy and green color scheme; this was popular then, but it’s only a guess.
I felt that this quilt needed to be a full length coat with some color added to it. I hand sewed felted flowers to the front and back of the coat, and added some birds for good luck. I made extra large pockets and exaggerated cuffed sleaves to increase the drama.
I would estimate the size on this coat is about an XXXL size 22-26 as it’s roomy on me. The underarm measurement across the bust area is 55”, the length of the coat from the collar to the bottom of the coat is 50”.
Either way this coat is a one of a kind showstopper and will create a lot of questions and conversations. Maybe you will even make new friends from all the questions about it.
If you have any additional questions about the coat, please reach out to me at 502-509-1708 or mojoquilts2017@gmail.com and I’ll respond as quickly as I can.
