A real treasure. It is beautiful!

That is Great!!

It is indeed a quilt to be treasured.

It is a beautiful quilt -- I love those old-fashioned patterns best!

For the name of the block, it may be a variation of the County Fair block...

That is really a treasure.

I do no know the block but love it! Perhaps one she made up? All colors go together, as in nature, and I think you have a great treasure there.

Thank you for sharing with us.

Very nice-

Lovely treasure for you to cherish!! Nice quilt by your granny!! I love it!

What a wonderful memory quilt.

What a wonderful memory gift and treasure for you. I am very happy for you. :)

I just looked up the block, and I too think it was derived from that block!

I don't know what block it is but it is lovely.

it's your Grannie's Block!!

Not only is that beautiful, but priceless.

The name of this block is "County Fair" or "County Farm", a Nancy Cabot block, according to the Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns, by Barbara Brackman. (See #2077). One difference is that your Grandmother has added some Corner detail that does not appear in the Cabot Block. It is constructed on a 9 x 9 Grid, comprised of 4 "Saw Tooth Stars" that have been compressed and overlapped to create the small Diamond Center. In your photo examine the block in lower left corner with a small pink square in each corner.

Your Treasure quilt also has an alternative block as yet unidentified...it looks like it has 4 Big Arrows pointing in 4 directions...

Correction: the County Fair block is on an 8 x 8 grid.

I agree, what a treasure. I have never seen this block before but it is lovely.

What a treasure! I love the quilt and you are so fortunate to have had such a precious grandmother.

I haven't read all the posts, but I think the block is Hole in the Barn Door, or a variation of it, that is set on point. It is a treasure, for sure. My granny who quilted, lost enough of her eyesight, that she could only see light from dark. Her youngest daughter did not have a good sense of blending colors, but her scrap quilts turned out great.
