Vintage Cradle Quilt | Patchwork Feedsack Florals & Pastels | Handcrafted Cotton | 23" x 34.5"

A charming vintage cradle quilt composed of soft pastel patchwork in classic feedsack-style florals, stripes, and calico prints. Hand-assembled with a gentle, timeworn palette of blush, butter yellow, sky blue, and soft green, this piece carries the quiet beauty of everyday craftsmanship. The reverse features a simple solid backing, allowing the front patchwork to take center stage.

Sized for a cradle or bassinet, but equally suited as a decorative textile layered over a chair, folded at the foot of a bed, or used as a wall-hung accent.

Why We Love It
This is the kind of piece that feels collected rather than styled. The mix of prints—each likely repurposed from earlier textiles—gives it that true “bits & bobs” charm. It’s soft, unfussy, and instantly warming in a space.
