The pattern was first printed in 1906 in a Clara Stone booklet made available by

Here is the pdf link. You'll see that on the cover of the booklet is a swastika quilt. Look for quilt #31.

You'd need an expert in dating fabrics to determine more closely when it was made. I think it looks 1920s. Do you know what year you're great-grandmother was born?
Thanks Irish now i have a pattern name
