I can't remember just what the seller told me about it, but seem to recall that it was from the Paris, TX area.
I was born in Bogata Texas, and my papa use to take me with him to Paris for Farmer's Market days. I remember that we had hot tamales from a pushcart, and later had fresh figs for a snack. He was a real good papa. He died when I was 5 yrs old...
Are you talking hot tamales stuffed with meat and chili? and wrapped in corn husks? uhmm!! What a wonderful memory for you with your papa, and that quilt is such a memory, I pray you find out who some of these people are. Good Luck
