Surviving album quilts made for children are very rare, perhaps because most album quilts were intended to be commemorative rather than utilitarian. Those that have come to light usually include only red and green motifs and lack the more elaborate squares found in their more sophisticated full-size counterparts. In this example, each block contains a different appliquéd design given dimension and definition by the use of stuffed work and embroidered details of wool and silk. Unlike other small quilts composed of a few full-size squares, this quilt was made to a reduced scale with smaller blocks and a miniaturized swag border, thus making its intended use as a child's cover evident. The quilt's style and provenance indicates that it was probably made by a Jewish seamstress, perhaps Rose Stein or Betty Meyer, both members of the Baltimore Hebrew Congregation and greatgrandmothers of the donor. Several full-size quilts with heavy wool embroidery and stuffed work, as well as similar floral, bird, and berry motifs, have been identified as the work of women associated with the Jewish community in Baltimore. The child for whom this quilt was fashioned has not been identified, but his or her birth was no doubt anticipated with great pride and joy that manifested itself in an ambitious handiwork project intended to welcome the newest member of the family.
