My grandma made me a biscuit quilt for college in 1967. It was filled with nylon stockings and made with 2 equal sized pieces for the squares. The squares were machine sewn, filled, and then hand sewn shut. Squares were attached by hand, and there is no backing. It was made from scraps, but arranged in a Boston Commons pattern. It is twin size and extremely heavy and warm. Squares are about 4". I still have the quilt, but I wish I had my grandma.
