Vintage Dresden Plate Quilt Throw – Rustic Cabin Decor – Grandmother’s Fan – Handmade 71x72.5

Wrap yourself in cozy nostalgia with this stunning vintage quilt featuring 16 beautifully pieced Dresden Plate (or Grandmother's Fan) blocks. Set against a dramatic deep black background, each plate block measures an impressive 18 inches, showcasing a kaleidoscope of rustic, cabin-style charm.

Handcrafted from over 640 individual pieces of fabric—primarily vintage cottons and home décor textiles—this quilt is a true labor of love. No silks, just sturdy, timeless materials that speak to simpler times and stories woven into every stitch.

You can see the quilt on a queen size bed in the photos to get an idea of its size.

This quilt is perfect for draping over a couch, adding charm to a guest bed, or simply displaying as a work of textile art. Each plate is unique, making this piece truly one-of-a-kind—a timeless heirloom with modern boldness.

Whether you’re a lover of traditional patterns or searching for the perfect statement piece for your rustic home or cabin, this quilt offers warmth, character, and craftsmanship that stands the test of time.

This quilt is already washed and air dried to determine it's sturdiness. It passed with no running colors! Keep in mind this is a vintage quilt top that I've completed with a 100% cotton batting and cotton fabric backing. It is vintage as is.

STORY OF VINTAGE RESCUE QUILTS
Following my love of Vintage Quilts and Quilt History, I find and source unfinished vintage quilt tops from various places. I then make any repairs needed to the quilt top, including mending loose seams, replacing disintegrated fabrics, and attending to stains that may be treated. I then pair the quilt with a modern fabric backing and batting and quilt it using my longarm quilting machine. I use no computers on my longarm and everything is done manually by hand. In the end, these unfinished quilts from long ago are transformed into quilts that are totally amazing, stunning, and, well, beautiful! Sometimes I'm so struck by a quilt's transformation! It is an honor to bring these beauties into the future and finally give them the ability to be used and loved!
QUILT CARE
❀ wash cold, gentle cycle, mild soap (No Tide, or harsh detergents) and dry in a normal drier on low to medium or lay flat or hang to dry. Do not hang in direct sunlight to dry. I RECOMMEND AIR DRYING and washing as little as possible to further the life of the quilt.
