Yellow Whole-Cloth Quilt

Sarah Capdeville is searching for her stolen baby quilt. Seventeen years ago, her family was returning to the US after being stationed overseas and they waited at a New York airport. Sarah was too old to go into the airport nursery with her mother and baby sister, so her mom made a pallet on their shipping trunks, put Sarah down for a nap and covered her with a yellow whole-cloth quilt. When Sarah awoke, someone had stolen the quilt right off of her while she slept. They searched the immediate area and could not find the missing quilt.

The quilt was about 72" square. It was a light yellow whole-cloth quilt and was bound with a satiny ribbon. The quilting was done in a simple diamond pattern. The backing was very soft, warm and fuzzy � possibly flannel.

The quilt is very special to Sarah because it was made by her grandmother. Sarah says she would like to know more about this quilt, "If nothing more than to know where it wound up. I hope it has been used to bring love and warmth to another child."

Please contact Sarah Capdeville at [email protected] if you have any leads on this quilt.
