Mae – 1940s–50s Feedsack Cabbage Rose Quilt Coat

Meet Mae.

Mae is a garden in soft focus. Blush pink and cream blocks are scattered with 1940s–50s feedsack cabbage roses in rosy pink and sage green, with little touches of lavender and mint pieced in throughout. She’s hand quilted in diamond and cable patterns, and decades of washing have crinkled her into a wonderfully textured, cloud-like softness.

Her edges are just as her quilter left them, now beautifully frayed with age. I’ve chosen not to bind or cover them, so her original finish stays part of her story.

Condition: Mae is in well-loved vintage condition, with her edges beautifully frayed from age, left as is to honor her maker’s work. Her feedsack cottons have softened over the decades into a wonderfully worn, cozy hand.

Measurements (laid flat):
Pit to pit: 33″ (84 cm)
Length: 29″ (74 cm)
Fits M–XXL. Relaxed, boxy fit that lands around the hip.

Care: Spot clean or hand wash gently in cool water and lay flat to dry, to keep her edges from fraying further.

Mommy and me: There’s enough of Mae’s quilt left to make a matching children’s coat. If you’re interested, send us a message with your little one’s size, and we’ll make one just for them.

One of a kind — when she’s gone, she’s gone.

Disclaimer:
Wolfgang coats are made from genuine antique and vintage quilts — pieces that have lived full lives before becoming something new. They carry the beautiful marks of that history: softness from years of washing, gentle fading, the occasional small repair or imperfection. This is not a flaw — it is the whole point. We give once loved and now unused quilts a new life, regardless of their flaws!
