Large Vintage Dresden Plate Quilt Top – Excellent Condition – Hand Pieced with 1930s–40s Fabrics

This beautifully preserved vintage quilt top features the beloved Dresden Plate pattern, lovingly hand pieced from a vibrant mix of authentic 1930s–1940s feedsack and cotton prints. Each block showcases a unique array of colorful petals—florals, geometrics, and novelty prints—creating charming, eye-catching “plates” full of character and history.

The plates are set into soft mint green blocks and framed with bold lavender sashing and borders, giving the entire piece a fresh, cheerful, and distinctly vintage look. Its large size and excellent structural condition make it an ideal candidate for finishing into a full quilt—whether hand quilted, machine quilted, or tied.

The workmanship is neat, the fabrics are vivid, and the quilt top has been remarkably well cared for through the decades.
