Vintage 1940s Nursery Rhyme Baby Quilt – Hand Embroidered – 42” x 54”

This adorable vintage nursery rhyme quilt was made sometime in the 1940s or 1950s and features hand embroidered nursery rhyme scenes set into soft pastel blue and white blocks, creating a lovely little crib or baby quilt.

Each embroidered panel is a different childhood rhyme or tale, including Jack Be Nimble, Little Boy Blue, Simple Simon, Peter Piper, The Queen of Hearts, and more. The hand quilting is in an all-over diamond grid. The back is blue cotton as is the binding that has been machine stitched to both sides. The cotton batting is lightweight.

CONDITION: The quilt is sturdy and in excellent condition with some age-related fading (see photos). It has been soaked and freshly cleaned and line-dried, giving a light natural sun-dried cotton scent (not artificially fragranced).
