I recently moved from one to room to a (larger!!:-) room in my co-op household. One large blank wall had numerous holes and really needed spackling and re-painting...but I didn't want to spend my time (right now anyway) doing this..so decided to hang a vintage quilt on the wall.
Turns out--it looks great !!! --really brightens up the room and I get to look at all the great vintage fabrics in the quilt every day.

| the quilt top was sewn my one of my father's ancestor's--maybe my Grandmother? and my Mother added the backing and quilted it by hand with some of her friends. |

| I just love the vintage fabrics in this quilt! |

| the quilt provides a nice back drop to my computer design area.... |
This quilt makes a beautiful background for you. Dresden plate is the first quilt that I ever made and I still love it.

I love quilts and vintage Dresden Plate quilts have a special place in my heart. It was my grandmother's handiwork that got me started in quilting.
