This is a lovely quilt from the 1930s or 40s. The pattern is a variant of the Dresden Plate known as Friendship Circle, the differences being that the spokes at the four quadrants have pointed tops, and that the center circle has four graceful ovals. These special pieces are usually made in an accent fabric, in this case, a pumpkin orange solid.
One issue to be solved for this quilt was patching some worn pieces. I did a bit of color manipulation on these, because the whites in this quilt have become quite yellowed and the other colors have faded. The easiest fix was with this black fabric. Using the reverse gave it just the dullness needed to not stand out from the original fabrics. (The little swatch shows the right side.)
