Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants- Ultra Rare 1910s Checkered

Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants- Ultra Rare 1910s Checkered

These pants are made from an Antique Checkered Quilt. I would say this a medium weight quilt and I believe it’s mostly wool with the top part being cotton. Judging by the fabric, inside calico fabric on a few inside pieces, and style , I would say this is from the 1910s-1920s. The blue and green checkered Quilt is actually the sister Quilt of this Peace, they were so together with one piece being the top and the other piece being the bottom. 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 :).

Approx Age: This quilt was made in the 1910s-1920s, handmade recently

Fabric: no tags, But I would say this is mostly wool, with the top black area being cotton and the inside has a few of these pieces on calico cotton

Condition: Very good wearable condition,  No holes noted ( there were several holes in this that I have repaired by putting a piece of fabric on the inside and running a stitch over kind of in a little spiderweb style) , because of the age of this piece I did my special spot treatment and sun soak for cleaning, there is some light color transfer from some of the fabric in the inside
