Wow - thanks for all the responses - I figured that by including the photos, it would generate some ideas. I am going to look again at the pics and pull up one of the quilts "hiding" behind the GFG quilt - a much newer made piece - that I believe was also made by my grandmother, but I think it was from the later 1980's time frame. I will find out more when I talk with my mom in the near future.
Not sure if I will make a separate "thread" so to speak - about the second "mystery" quilt - or just add on here. I am on vacation, and not always in control of my time - others around me trump my hand - if you know what I mean! (BTW I am in North Conway/Intervale NH at the moment, might stop down for some time at Keepsake Quilts in Center Harbor for fun.)
