This was my grandmother's quilt. It's quite faded, but otherwise in pretty good condition. I love the blocks. Does anyone know what these are?

Great old quilt ! Looks like a version of the Lone Star or Blazing Star, Bethlehem Star etc.
You don't usually see this block put together that way, touching tips. Most often set in sashing w/ posts when there are multiples - or it's made as one huge quilt-top size block.
