Nautical Star 2XL Quilted Vest Rework

A one-of-a-kind vest reworked from a discarded vintage quilt — eight-point LeMoyne stars in red and navy, pieced from a novelty print scattered with anchors, ship's wheels and sailboats, set against a soft faded blue. Red binding, cream lining. Equal parts Americana and lake house.

Boxy, slightly cropped silhouette with two patch pockets and three front tie closures that let you set the fit. Size 2XL. There is exactly one of these.

Measurements — size 2XL (laid flat)

• Chest, pit to pit: 25"
• Length, shoulder to hem: 20"

These are our standard 2XL figures. Because every vest is cut from a different quilt they can vary by about ±½ inch — the last photo is this vest's own tape-measure shot.

Condition

Reworked by hand from a genuine vintage quilt. The blue ground has faded softly with age and the hand-quilting is visible throughout — that is the source material showing through, not damage.
