Default Grandma's Quilt

My grandmother passed away in 2008. This quilt top was found in her closet. It is hand pieced and made of some variety of 1970's polyester knit. I am not sure when the quilt was made but I am guessing sometime in the 70's or 80's. She did quilt all the way up to the late 90's before her health declined to a point that she was unable to sew any longer. I completed her quilt this year. I hand quilted and hand bound the quilt. The backing and binding are all contemporary fabrics. Does anyone recognize the pattern? My grandmother was an accomplished quilter and had been quilting since the 30's and I even have a picture of her showing off a quilt in 1930's that she and a friend made together. It is possible that it is her own design but I thought maybe a worldwide network of quilters might recognize it if it was a common design.
