Alternating Bands in Red and White

This antique beauty, scored at Nantucket's Rafael Osana auction, is a rare and exceptional example of 19th century care and craft. A bit shabby along the border, gives Queen Bee UpStyle the chance to hand cut this handmade quilt, drawing out the perfect parts of this special textile, creating a modern, one-of-a-kind Classic Swoop Coat. The diagonal pattern and the light weight makes this a perfect all-season topper. This quilt coat is equally at home over cut-off shorts and flip-flops as it is over a fine linen dress with a silk scarf.
