Dresden Plate quilts became popular in the 1920s and 30s in America. Modeled off of the beautiful, ornately designed ceramic tableware that Dresden, Germany has become so well known for, these quilts are often designed to mimic the brightly colored flowers that characterize many Dresden ceramic motifs. Typically, Dresden plate quilts are made from wedges of fabric that are pieced together to create designs of petals, emanating from an appliqué button or circular piece of fabric placed over the center joins. The plate is then sewn into a block, and the block is subsequently sewn into the larger quilt. We acquired this quilt for love of its hand-made imperfections and lively character. The design also marries two of our great loves among antiques, ceramics, and quilts!
