This alphabet baby quilt was handmade in the 1980s as a baby shower gift for a teacher. A group of fellow school teachers each contributed by hand-embroidering an alphabet letter/design as part of the quilt, making this a collaborative handmade keepsake rather than a commercially manufactured baby blanket. Each embroidered square has its own colorful design and character, with the alphabet worked into the individual blocks. The embroidery is beautifully representative of the handmade needlework and craftwork of the era. Condition: Pre-owned vintage condition. Please examine all photographs carefully. There may be minor signs of age/use consistent with a handmade textile from the 1980s. I have photographed the quilt from multiple angles so buyers can see the embroidery, fabric and overall condition. This is a particularly charming piece because of its history. It wasn’t simply purchased as a baby blanket — it was handmade by teachers as a personal gift for a fellow teacher’s baby. * Vintage 1980s * Handmade * Hand-embroidered alphabet blocks * Collaborative gift made by a group of school teachers * Originally made as a baby shower gift for another teacher * Colorful embroidered designs throughout * Brown/gold textured quilted background * One-of-a-kind piece * Great for a nursery, child’s room, quilt collection, teaching/education collection, or as folk-art display Please see all photos for details.
