The 206 Quilted Prairie Skirt by Folkwear is inspired by the elaborately quilted petticoats worn during the 18th and 19th centuries for both fashion and warmth. The design can be made as a historically inspired petticoat or styled as a beautiful contemporary skirt.

The skirt falls in gathers from a narrow waistband with a placketed side opening and can be made in either ankle or calf length. Concentrating the quilting on the lower portion of the skirt creates the characteristic silhouette while keeping the upper portion lighter.

View A uses commercial pre-quilted fabric, while Views B & C are constructed with an outer fabric, batting and lining and may be quilted by hand or machine. View C features a more elaborate quilting design and is made without the ruffle.

Quilting design transfers are included for a traditional floral spray and grid design.
