This oversized hoodie is made from an antique Dresden plate quilt and a vintage chenille bedspread. Based on the source of the quilt, I believe it dates to the 1940's. I received it as a pair of two matching quilts which were believed to be made for sisters. The blue portions of the hoodie are made from a vintage chenille bedspread with a sweet white rose pattern. This hoodie has a large pocket on the front to keep your hands warm or hold a few essentials. Seams are serged and flat-felled for added strength and reduced bulk. This style is meant to be "oversized" both because it's meant to be a comfy cozy garment and because it is designed for low to no stretch materials. This means you need a little more "ease" compared to a stretchy fabric like a knit.

A note about vintage materials: I strive to find vintage pieces that are "fit for wear" meaning I will not use quilts that have shattered sections or large or obvious stains. Pieces of this age may have small pin holes or repairs, and sometimes faint yellowing or small spots. These are to be expected and part of the character of a vintage piece. To protect the garment, I recommend hand washing or machine washing in cold water on a delicate cycle with the wrong side turned out, and hanging or laying flat to dry.
