I found this top at an antique store years ago and recently unearthed it from my stash. I don't know how old it is, but looks like 1930's to 1940's (?) The piecing was done with a coarse cotton thread and done as though by a beginner. I just love it, since it is truly a scrap quilt and probably done as a first project by a family that didn't waste a thing. Most fabrics are feed sack and a few look like they came from scraps from clothing. Note the Confederate flag fabric. I hand quilted it in simple outline quilting and backed it with natural muslin.
