Vintage Dresden plates by Laura

Oh the history in this quilt.  I believe that Laura's grandmother pieced the plates, and finished appliqueing the 4 in the corners to the background fabric.  The rest were completed beautifully by Laura.

Since the quilt is probably close to 80+ years old, there are a few stains and such.  We're going to call those "age spots"

 Only SID around each piece and on the borders. I kept hearing a voice in my head that I am going to assume is Laura's grandmother.  At times yelling at me "No!  I don't want that."  She "told" me that she only wanted to have it SID, and every time I thought about something else, the voice would start again.  When I finished and looked at the quilt from a distance, she was right.

Here's an update to this lovely quilt.  The video is of the recipient of the quilt opening it for Christmas 2020.  The recipient is Laura's mother, and it was Laura's grandmother who made the blocks.  The four corner blocks are all her work, the remainder were completed by Laura.
