EXCEPTIONAL VINTAGE CHILD'S CRIB OR LAP QUILT HAND SEW - "WIZARD OF OZ" EXCEPTIONAL VINTAGE CHILD'S CRIB OR LAP QUILT HAND SEWN - "WIZARD OF OZ" ... Click images to enlarge Description This is an exceptional, one-of-a-kind vintage baby's crib or lap quilt. It is made of a muslin like material and is hand embroidered with wonderful scenes and characters from The Wizard of Oz. My guess is it dates to somewhere between the 1930s - 1950s. It measures approximately 24" x 32", and I believe there is a very thin batting, but I can't be sure. However, it is a good sturdy thickness - reminds me of the old cloth diapers in softness and thickness. There are 12 blocks - 2 each of Dorothy & Toto, The Tin Man, The Scarecrow, The Lion, The Apple Tree, and The Castle.
There is one "bad" spot on the edge, but mostly on the backside where it looks like something melted and created a hole. It really is not very noticeable from the front. There are also a few small places where the embroidery has come loose, and there are a couple spots which would probably soak out. These issues are relatively minor, and truly, do not detract from the beauty and uniqueness of this piece. Please see the last few pics.
