For the Love of Baby
Crib
quilts radiate universal charm, appeal, and delight. They are as
fun and entertaining as they are revealing, sharing with us everyday
life in the past. Although the quilts differ in pattern, design,
color, fabric, piecing, and appliqué, these share an endearing quality
and span more than one hundred years. (Approximately 25 actual quilts
made especially for babies and children will be shown.)
