My great-grandma made this quilt. I’m guessing its date of origin to be sometime in the early decades of the twentieth century as Grandma was born in 1882 and married in 1900. She had retired from quilting by the time I became acquainted with her in the early 1960’s.
Quite a few years ago our church ladies’ group held a quilt show and I submitted this one for display. They called the pattern a type of Dresden Plate.

I am really enjoying your quilting series! It would seem that you are surrounded by beauty!
Beautiful!
Mom asked me to embrodier(did I spell that right?) the history of the quilt on a swatch and attach those to the quilts.
What a treasure!
Beautiful and full of history!
What a beautiful quilt!
My mother has a quilt that is not complete that is similar to the one in the photo. It was started by her Grandmother, but never got around to being completed.
