I agree; it is a variation of the Kansas Troubles. I checked a 1980 edition of The Collector's Dictionary of Quilt Names & patterns, thinking surely an old pattern would be listed there. KT was the only one even close. You have a real treasure.

Looks like Delectable Mountains with the longest strips set backwards from DM. What a lovely heirloom!

I am no expert, but in looking at the dark and not the light, it looks like a building- silo perhaps? or capitaol building? Could be her original block. It is beautiful!:)
