Crib quilts may be smaller in size but in the antique quilt world they often pack the biggest punch.

I remember when I first started buying and collecting quilts and I came across my first little crib quilt. It was a 19th century applique, the perfect little size, and I was stunned to flip the price tag and see a three digit number. As I began buying and collecting in earnest I quickly came to understand how highly sought after and collectible crib quilts truly are, especially now.

What qualifies as a crib quilt?
