Where did you find it? It does look older, but then again, as discussed this morning, I've only been quilting ~10 years. What is the design on the lighter fabric? Swastikas?

Wow! Where did you find it! The stories it could tell.... The quilt pattern is fascinating by itself, but the neutral fabric tells a whole other story. I'm intrigued.

It's amazing and I bet valuable. I'd like to hear more about your grandmother.

fabric does not look like cotton - is it? Have your asked your grandmother? Is there an ethnic history to the quilt?

so nice! I think of fractured snowflakes when I look at the blocks.

Your great grandmother's story would be interesting. Swastikas did not always have the negative connotation that they presently have, so the story behind the quilt could go many directions. I like the blue and white color combination and also thought it looked like snowflakes. What a treasure.
