Lot #156: Antique 1930s Dresden Plate Quilt – Hand-Stitched, Signed & Dated 1919 – From Mother to Edna

Beautiful and heartfelt antique Dresden Plate quilt, entirely hand-stitched and dated 1919. This heirloom-quality quilt features 30 blocks with colorful, feed sack-style fabric petals arranged in the classic Dresden Plate pattern, each set against a cream muslin background and bordered with red embroidery. One panel is lovingly inscribed: "From Mother to Edna, Born June 2, 1919"—a touching dedication that adds a personal and historical layer to this piece. The quilt has a scalloped red-and-white border and soft cotton batting, with visible hand quilting throughout. Shows some age-related wear, light discoloration, and slight fabric thinning in places—expected for a textile over 100 years old. A rare and authentic example of early 20th-century American quilting tradition, perfect for collectors or display. Measurements: 81" x 72" Pickup category timeslot {A}
