<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Northern Lights Lodge, post: 2252297, member: 13464&quot;]I think for me, it is the petite size of the piece... not big enough for a christening blanket and it looks too “heavy” or “dense” for a christening blanket. It looks like it was made for warmth. Christening blankets seem to be more decorative than functionally warm. It doesn’t look large enough for a crib blanket and I think it is too fancy for an everyday crib blanket. So I keep going back to pram blanket. Yes, it could be a bit more modern in terms of age - but by the 40’s and 50’s it seems like most stroller sets were lighterweight wool in fancy stitches. She didn’t say if it was wool or cotton, but it looks like cotton to me from the pics...&nbsp; and pieces worked in that fine dense cotton, seems to have fallen out of vogue by circa 1920-30. There are always exceptions! And then if we add in that she said her great-grand (assuming she did) make it (which certainly could date it to the mid to late 1800’s) — I stıll vote for pram blanket! I’d love other opinions...</p><p>Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
