The Dresden Plate was a very popular quilt in the early 1900´s.  This quilt dates to the 1930´s.  Alex´s Great Great Aunt Kate made the quilt.  Her first love was playing Bridge.  Alex´s mother, Dorothy, does not remember Kate being a big quilter, but she did make this one.  In her later life, she came to live with Dorothy´s mom and the quilt was handed down the generations.  Alex sent the quilt out to be repaired and realized 5 years later that it had not been returned.  She then tracked it down and found that it still hadn´t been fixed.

Do you have a Dresden Plate Quilt in the family?

(In order to see the fabrics, I slowed down the animation a little).
