Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants- Ultra Rare 1890s Horseshoe Crazy Quilt

Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants- Ultra Rare 1890s Horseshoe Crazy Quilt

These pants are made from an Antique Horseshoe Crazy Quilt. I would say this a light weight quilt, as it is set on to an interfacing of feed sacks on the inside, with no batting. Judging by the fabric, feathered  embroidery, and style, I would say this is from 1890s-1910s. This pant is made from a vintage palazzo pant pattern and features a wide leg, high waist, and elastic waist band to fit a variety of sizes. It also has inseam pockets for maximum comfort and utility :)

Color Scheme: A moody Rainbow assortment of colors and patterns

Approx Age: This quilt was probably made in the 1890s-1910s, handmade recently

Fabric: no tags, But I would say this is a mixture of wool, cotton, and silk, and sat onto a cotton feed sack interfacing  on the inside

Condition: Very good wearable condition, there are a few areas of wear and holes on the outer pieces, but since it is set onto an interfacing of feedsacks,  those beautiful pieces shined through those areas so I wouldn’t consider them holes, just beauty spots, because of the age of this piece I did my special spot treatment and sun soak for cleaning, No stains noted
