This is very similar to the top my grandmother made before my mom was born in 1948. Mom remembers it being spread out on the bed when she was a child. It was never quilted, but is quite worn now and has been badly mended.

When I was in elementary school, my 2 sisters and I shared a room. During that time, Mom made us each quilts like it using double knits. The sashing on each was different- our signature color. For the dresses, she used scraps from making her square dance dresses, our christmas easter dresses, and old dresses of Grandma's. They are truly special.
