About 22 yrs ago I was given some dresden blocks from a friends family, after she passed away. They are old blocks, I'm guessing 30's, and her family had no idea who made them. I didn't know how to quilt back then, but kept them anyway.
Since I learned to quilt 3 yrs ago I decided to finish these blocks into a quilt. I got some expert quilting advice and sewed them together, then hand quilted it. I am so glad I finished this project since the blocks are very old.
I can say the thought crossed my mind that whoever started them intended for the quilt to be completed and for some reason it wasn't. It's kinda of like being a part of the original quilters dream.
