  • Details
    This is a charming 1950s Dresden Plate quilt featuring oversized plates with vibrant prints against a crisp white ground. The large scale (a generous 18 1/2” diameter per plate) gives this classic pattern a bold presence that is both cheerful and striking.

    The hand-quilting is in outlines of the Dresden Plates and in starbursts in the center of each. The back is white cotton while the binding is bright green cotton that has been machine-stitched to the front and hand-stitched to the back. The batting is lightweight.

    CONDITION: The quilt is in excellent vintage condition with no issues noted.
