This quilt is Charles Newkirk's baby quilt.  It was most likely made during the summer of 1919.  The quilt has considerable wear and the colors are faded.  Peaking under exposed seams reveals some of the original colors.  The block centers and border fabric are tiny purple squares printed on a white background.   The half square triangle fabrics that make up the ocean wave are various small dark and light prints in burgundy or cranberry reds, cadet blue and whites, what appears to be some black and white mourning prints and pale blue and light brown weaves.   The fabrics match the 1910-1935 section of Eileen Jahnke Trestain's book Dating Fabrics a color guide 1800-1960.  Better Homes and Gardens' book Quilting - Pieces of the Past dates the ocean wave pattern 1890-1920.

 

This quilt measures are approximately 39"X56".  The block center squares are approximately 6" and the small triangle squares that make the wave measure about 1.5".  The outside border width is about 3".  There was probably more than one quilter but the majority of the quilting is meticulous at about 12 stitches per inch. 
 

 

The quilter is not documented.  It was likely made by Carolena Winters Newkirk or her mother, Mary Elizabeth Hoffman Winters.  It would be reasonable to think that Charles' sister, Agnes, may have helped make the quilt.  Agnes would have been 17 years old when Charles was born.
