Dresden Plate from McCall's

Neva Sims Baird

Louisiana Project and the Quilt Index

An innovative design in the 1930s. Neva's quilt follows a popular pattern.

Who originated the variation of the Dresden plate with four pointy

spokes among the curved ones? Probably a designer at McCall's magazine

in 1933

Dresden Plate and Fan Design for Quilts

#74 was the Dresden Plate

Here's the McCall's pattern, which many followed quite closely.

The border was part of the plan.

New Quilts, Old Designs by Elisabeth May Blondel

in McCall's

In her 2010 AQSG paper "McCall’s Role in the Early Twentieth-Century Quilt Revival,"Virginia Gunn dates the pattern to 1933 and notes they sold it until 1954.

Their modus operandi was hot iron transfers on tissue

 sold in a packet just like clothing patterns.

Elisabeth May Blondel was the company's needlework editor from 1920 to 1952, responsible for the magazine and needlework periodicals in their various incarnations. 

Blondel was a native New Yorker, born in 1883. She was single while she edited the magazine. Censuses find her living with her family, her mother and then sisters and brother in the city, but she also mentions a home in New Milford, Connecticut. In 1955 at the age of 72 (she might not have owned to being quite that old) she married Edward Hall Gardner, retired Professor of Business Administration at the University of Wisconsin.

I hadn't noticed the McCall's publication when I indexed the pattern as #3629 in my Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns. I'd guess McCall's was the real source.

I notice that EQ calls the green pieces here blades and the print pieces petals

which is probably better than "pointy spokes"

I can't find a pattern to send you to. I'd imagine McCall's still has it in copyright.
