The name of this block is "County Fair" or "County Farm", a Nancy Cabot block, according to the Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns, by Barbara Brackman. (See #2077). One difference is that your Grandmother has added some Corner detail that does not appear in the Cabot Block. It is constructed on a 9 x 9 Grid, comprised of 4 "Saw Tooth Stars" that have been compressed and overlapped to create the small Diamond Center. In your photo examine the block in lower left corner with a small pink square in each corner.

Your Treasure quilt also has an alternative block as yet unidentified...it looks like it has 4 Big Arrows pointing in 4 directions...

Correction: the County Fair block is on an 8 x 8 grid.

I agree, what a treasure. I have never seen this block before but it is lovely.

What a treasure! I love the quilt and you are so fortunate to have had such a precious grandmother.

I haven't read all the posts, but I think the block is Hole in the Barn Door, or a variation of it, that is set on point. It is a treasure, for sure. My granny who quilted, lost enough of her eyesight, that she could only see light from dark. Her youngest daughter did not have a good sense of blending colors, but her scrap quilts turned out great.
