According to Mr. Google, it was published August 11, 1936 in numerous newspapers, including the Miami (Oklahoma) Daily News.

I'd love to have a copy of the pattern. I looked online and did not find it without subscribing to historical newspapers.

I have a quilt kit that I bought at an estate sale for a Dresden Plate. The pieces are all cut out. All I would need is the center. That looks a lot easier to make than the Dresden plate.

Can I PM you?

I was thinking the 1950's.

I agree with the 50's because of the brown fabrics. Definitely not earlier than the 40's because that's when the red-yellow-blue prints first came out.

I would say the pattern is very old but the fabric looks from the 40's.

Alice Brooks (and Laura Wheeler) quilting patterns were published in newspapers in the 1930s.
