This might be a tough one for me to sell...what a history this darling totally vintage quilt has!  i found the original blocks in poor repair and set out to restore the fabrics in it the best way i could!  Each dresden was carefully re-appliqued to a fresh background of white cotton and then bordered/bound in complementary fabrics.  The fabrics in each dresden plate tell a story of vintage clothing, flour and sugar sacks from times gone by.  Precisely quilted with care and sandwiched with cotton batting, each block also displays a vintage button to complement the colors!  A true labor of love...both then and now!  Enjoy this piece of history in your nest!  : )
