Hand-pieced and machine-appliquéd quilt featuring two Dresden Plate blocks set against a cream/off-white ground, bordered in dusty pink sashing and framed by a dark floral-print binding along the visible edge. Each plate is composed of numerous wedge-shaped pieces cut from a wide variety of printed and solid cotton fabrics — polka dots, checks, gingham, florals, stripes, and solids in red, orange, yellow, mint green, powder blue, and burgundy — arranged around a solid mint-green center circle. The plates are appliquéd to the background with a decorative pink blanket/zigzag stitch, and the whole is quilted through a soft, lofted batting.
The mix of printed cotton fabrics is typical of mid-to-late 20th-century domestic quiltmaking, likely assembled from dressmaking scraps, and reflects a traditional pattern popular for its use of varied fabric remnants.
