Handmade Quilt Skirt- 1940s Checkered

Handmade Quilt Skirt- 1940s Checkered

This skirt is made from a vintage checkered quilt. When it was found, it had lots of tears and separations, so why not use the good parts for a skirt:) There batting between the two layers, I would say this a light weight quilt. Judging by the fabric style, and that it is all hand-stitched, I would say this is from the 1940s-1950s. This skirt is cut in an 3 panel a-line patterns and features an elastic waistband to fit a variety of sizes
