    The colors are still so fresh. I have my 1st quilt made by my grandfather. It is faded, but then it is 80 years old.

    Back in those days I beleive they made the quilts to cover the baby in the cribs - narrow, but long. and it covered teh babies well also when held - they were not swaddled in teh quilt. I saw so many of these long narrow quilts back in my days growing up ... about the same time era.

    Good of you to have it. Also, back in those days you did the baby's sex until it was born.
