OHHH!!! Its a string quilt. They are kinda interesting, totally a utility quilt. She was using what she had on hand.
Here's a few of my string quilts. There is all sorts of cotton
fabrics(plaids,novelties etc..).

I should mention, it is in perfect condition despite it's ugliness!

Uh....u could almost hear the pin drop after pic popped up! It doesn't look bad , it just unusual. Lots of interested colors and the border added made it prettier. I think after it's quilted , will look great.
