I'm with JenniePenny in dating the quilt. It's not vintage, but the tealish blue with white flowers may be a 40's feedsack. Whomever made it had some feedsack in their current stash. Sometimes quilters buy fabrics here and there (yardsales, etc.) and may not even realize the fabric they bought is vintage. I've seen it happen more than once or twice. Once a quilter I know thought a pile of feedsacks she bought at a yardsale were all different size "pillowcases". She bought the whole pile for about $15, if I remember correctly. The seller didn't know what they were, either. (But I did.)

You lost me on the construction process but this is a remarkable quilt, especially if it is exactly the same on the other side! It appears that the bottom is something like prairie points and that's an interesting finish. The quilter did a fantastic job of hand quilting!!

At first I thought it was 2 duplicate quilts sewn together (back to back) - shows how little I know! Now I realize the triangles on the back exactly match those on the front, so the quilter obviously took a "square", folded it in half diagonally, then stitched it to others in a whole row, then attached it to a whole row of white triangles, then another row of print triangles, etc. to make a double sided quilt that matches the front.

One thousand pyramids is the pattern, the fabrics look to be 30’s, 40’s, 50’s. Could be reproductions. I say that because the white looks much newer. Bleached muslins back then had a courser weave, that looks much ( smoother) I have some of those fabrics, bought in quilt shops in the past 10-15 years. When our lqs was doing 30’s charm quilts
its a lovely quilt. Very nice find.
