Patchwork & Dresden Plate Quilt

54 x 80 inches. A few holes. A handmade American folk-art patchwork quilt featuring a grid of twenty-four individual blocks. The construction utilizes variety of mid-20th-century printed cotton and cotton-blend fabrics, including checks, stripes, small-scale florals, and a distinctive apple print. The top two rows consist of eight "House" blocks, each featuring contrasting roof, body, and window sections. The lower four rows are composed of sixteen blocks in a stylized cloverleaf or Dresden Plate variant design, characterized by four-petal floral shapes set against a white ground. The appliqu? shapes are secured to the base fabric using a prominent, contrasting blue machine zigzag stitch. The quilt is finished with a solid purple fabric border and features a plain white cotton backing. The reverse side reveals the irregular, hand-guided path of the machine stitching, consistent with individual home construction. No maker labels or signatures are present.
