Then maybe she made the little quilt top and use the “practice “ fabric for the back. It’s precious. The little dresses are so charming and colorful!

They simply place a new top on an old quilt and re-quilt it or most often just tie it together. Those dresses are adorable.Wendy Caton Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122151466664580872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554378824181841688.post-3971528970751632842021-08-06T08:07:43.382-07:002021-08-06T08:07:43.382-07:00I agree that there is prob an earlier quilt fragme...I agree that there is prob an earlier quilt fragment held together w the black stitches, then the crib top was added later. A truly frugal time, from the fabrics, 30s, 40s? I am a bit surprised you gave it away as it has some historic interest.Lizzy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13925662100321427762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554378824181841688.post-31876475840302428342021-08-06T07:22:18.108-07:002021-08-06T07:22:18.108-07:00That is such a darling old quilt, so sweet.
