Just noticed that I forgot to turn out the cuff on the burgundy side of this just completed piece . I promise both sleeves are complete!😂😂😂More autumn colors- reds, oranges, golds and burgundy. 🍁🍂 This one is fully reversible! 2 coats in one!😊It’s a lightweight wrap from a vintage Kantha quilt for indoors or for outdoors if you live in a warmer climate than I do!😁. Coming soon to my shop! #quiltjacket #autumn #fallvibes by @alteredstatesdesigns

Hoping my doggies don’t notice that I borrowed their toys for pattern weights! This beautiful very old harlequin print quilt is so soft and the colors are so vibrant- It makes the perfect cardi/ jacket for fall. #quiltcoat #oneofakindclothing #sustainablymade by @alteredstatesdesigns

Pink and blue star quilt jacket. I’ve never seen another in these colors. The woman I bought this from appeared to be in her 80s and said her granny had made quilts for all the children and grandchildren. I’ve bought a few of them and they are all charming. Swipe to see the pretty vintage quilt outside to see the color in daylight. Have you ever noticed the way color appears so different in different light? Way too dark out now (early am) to take photos outside🙄 Coming Friday to my shop. #quiltjacket #sustainablymade by @alteredstatesdesigns
