Dresden Plate Quilt

Date Made:

Circa late 1940s

Size:

69" x 87"

Maker:

Elizabeth Delegal, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

Description:

This hand-quilted Dresden Plate made with cotton batting and diamond stitch pattern.

This is an old quilt and the style doesn't really match Nonie Sellers' or Ada Morgan's styles.  Although they may have made it, I think Elizabeth did because her skills were very good.  I think she made it for her hope chest.
