68 yr old baby quilt
 

Cleaning out my cedar chest and I came across my husbands baby quilt handmade in 1943 by his mother/grandmother.
I remember asking MIL why it was made with pink fabric and she said back then they used alot of pink for boys.
Guess Sunbonnet Sue/Farner boy has been around for a long time.

Awesome quilt! You are so lucky to have it.

What a treasure!! Interesting that it is twice as long as it is wide -- probably easier to wrap the baby.

that is really cute, my hubby has one from the same era-and it is pink and purple

what a treasure to pass down the generations

Beautiful and so special:)

My MIL mentioned that her mother made her a SBS for her first baby also. She had all boys. She can't find it now. I made her a new one for Christmas. I like this with the big blocks. I think she said her's was pink too. Didn't know what you were having back then.

what beautiful colors and pattern, and still in such great shape...

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.

What a treasure!

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.

Neat that you have it! A special treasure.

How cute, what a treasure!!

What a wonderful treasure!

how special :)

What a treasured find. I looks in wonderful shape and will be a terrific family heirloom to pass down. Thank you for sharing.

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