I don't know how old it is, the quilting is done in a grid pattern but not with a straight stitch, they used a zig zag. I've never seen an entire quilt done using a zig zag stitch. I love the quilt though.

Love the scrappy string/diamond quilt. Just got to keep looking whenever you are in the neighborhood! I check out my trift sotes, and have only found one older quilt, and it was stained pretty bad. Bought it anyway! Gave it to a person in need after cleaning it up as well as I could.
