I save old quilt tops too. I have such a wonderful selection to put on my bed. I don't use them like newer ones, afraid they will fall apart with washing over and over.

I have no info about who made the top....the fabrics have a lot of variety...some look like 1890's....some in the 30's. The flour sacks still have printed numbers on them. It's been a fun quilt...I put it over the GKs when they visit.

PS, it worries me, seeing older fabric like this hanging from that type of clip. JMHO

As for the "swasticka print"...if the fabric dates to pre-1940's or so..the swasticka was actually used as a symbol for friendship and wasn't demonized until Hitler started using it!!!
Google ( gammadion cross, cross cramponnée, or manji)to get the history...it wasn't always a sign of evil!

Lucky you I love it.

Beautiful quilt! Congrats on the ribbon. Seems like it would of had some sentimental value to someone. Can't see them getting rid of it. Great find for you though
