The availability of kits like “Shadow Stitching Crib Quilt” are a result of advances in technologies such as iron-on transfer patterns and stamping.  This is an example of a kit that came with pre-marked fabrics for cutting and applique. The colors are standard of the pastel palette of the 1910s and 1920s.
