Never mind...I think I answered my own question.. :oops:
This pattern is from back in the civil war when the Sanitary Commission issued quilts to soldiers. This is a replica of the pattern they used. The Home of the Brave project has adopted this pattern for the quilts it presents to families of fallen soldiers.
It is narrow. But if you think about having to sleep on a cot, this would be about the right width for those narrow little cots, or bedrolls.
