A Dresden Plate quilt, made by one of my grandmothers, that somehow found its way to our house. I was very young and only have vague memories of it, but I remember being intrigued by the different fabrics of the blades. It had white background behind the plates, with a country blue sashing between the blocks. The plates had creamy yellow center circles, and the plates were all stitched down with a blanket stitch in a thick black thread.
