This quilt is a Dresden Plate from 1940. It is made with muslin front and back and then the plates are appliqued to the solid piece of muslin and the green stripes have been added to the finished single piece of fabric. It was sewn together like a big pillowcase and is all hand sewn then tied with green wool yarn. The plates are made with flour sack material and is very light weight. The batting is cotton and still very poofy. I don't think it has ever been used but kept as a family treasure. Very Pretty!
