Q8436 Alphabet Crib Quilt
c.1920 32 ½ x 46 Northeast (New England or Pennsylvania) $2,900

This graphically creative little quilt would be perfect in so many places; a pediatrician or veterinarian’s office, a child’s room, or for that matter, any room owned by a child at heart! In barely used condition, the Turkey red letters and animals have been hand appliqued and embellished. The 2 ¾ inches sashing has been created by topstitching 3/8 inch strips of Turkey red over the quilt top in a grid pattern. The crosshatch hand quilting inside the sashing is 5/8 inches apart, and outside the sashing is 1 ¼ inches apart. The center rectangle has been diagonally quilted to create a large diamond and crosshatch quilted in a 5/8 inch grid in the remaining area. The 3/8 inch Turkey red binding has been separately applied, and the backing is white cotton. Professionally hand washed by Betsey.
