Description

Quilt made by Florence Day McKamey, "Dresden Plate" (aka China Plate) pattern. Cotton prints typical of 1930s-1940s (perhaps more likely in '40s). Some plates may be from feedsack cloth. White background with multicolor segments in blue, pink, green, yellow and black. No decorative border or edging. Backing is white. Pieced and appliqued. Hand quilted; quilting outlines segments and forms a diamond pattern on backing of quilt. Comments from Merikay Waldvogel, 3/16/2004-- Soiled. Could wash; colors shouldn't run.
