The Certificate of Authenticity attached to it indicates that the presents on this stocking were made from "scraps of quilts circa 1870-1940" Each present is about 2 1/2" square and some of the fabric looks to be feed sack.
On some of the close ups you can actually see the hand stitching on a couple and the signs of wear on one of them. I love the one that is made from little hexagons - probably a grandmother's garden type quilt.
Enjoy.
