Amazing. When I looked at your dresden plate pattern quilt pieces, they looked just like the ones my grandmother put together in the 30's. My mother finished the quilt and gave it to me. I will enclose a picture to help you with planning your layout. My mother machine stitched around the quilt piece borders directly to white fabric squares. She added blue sashing and border because my bedroom had blue and pink. She also made the assortment of pillows and wall hanging in the picture. She likes to keep an album of the quilts she has made--which have been many.

I would take it to your LQS and ask about the material... I do remember the feed sack material and it was coarser. My sister in law owns a Quilt shop and she had some repro for the 30's - 40's I can't believe how thin the material was. In fact LOTS of material these days. Paper thin. Beautiful find and enjoy making another quilt. :)

They could be from FLOUR Sacks. My grandmother made my mother and them dresses from Flour sacks... they have a tighter weave and are better quality than feed sacks

Maybe you can find some 30's or 40's fabric -- someone may have some stashed away... I think I have seen some of the Dresden Plates that did not have a "center" filled in... It just let the fabric of the quilt show through. Great Find!
