My guess is that these were quilters who used scissors to cut their pieces and this saved fabric for them. Probably used this fabric back before the rotary cutter was invented OR were used to their way of doing things.
I received fabric from a friend's mother in law who had the same types of cuts. She always cut with scissors and hand-pieced her quilts.

Having had an upholstery/drapery workroom, it's HABIT for me to be as conservative as I can be with fabric. By leaving those bits on, I can possibly, by the time I get to the end, have enough of one piece left that I would have otherwise been short. I use EVERY INCH. It comes from working with other's very expensive fabric...

All my fabric leftovers look like that. I sew clothing etc and I HATE to waste fabric and you never know what little pattern piece you can fit in there. It does bug me when people cut a pattern piece right out of the middle though. To each her own!!!
