Antique or vintage doll and small size quilts have gained popularity in recent years due to the scale of the pattern and
availability. They also take up less room when storing or displaying. They are sometimes crudely made as it may have
been the child's first venture into sewing. The child may have had a loved doll in which they were making this special
bed cover. Sometimes a mother was making a large quilt and the child may have been using the left over fabric scraps of
calico or shirting for the small quilt. Many were probably used, worn out and tossed as the child got older, so they are
not as common as large quilts. Provenance is great to have when purchasing a quilt, whether it is a child's or regular
bed quilt.
