This quilt was my grandmother's who died about 10 years ago. I wish I had asked her more about it but all I know is that another woman, who couldn't afford fabric, made a deal with my grandmother that if she would provide the fabric, the woman would make a quilt for herself and one for my grandmother.

I don't know what year it was made. The hexagon pieces are about 1" on a side. It is hand quilted at about 8 stitches per inch. It is in excellent condition, doesn't look like it was ever used and it has been stored all this time. There is some yellowing along a couple of edges but I see no other damage.

Does anyone have an idea of the age, maybe based on the fabrics?

I will put it on an unused guest bedroom bed under a white down comforter. I've read that on an unused bed and covered from sunlight is the best place to store old quilts. This should help the folds to relax out too.
