Vtg Quilt Top Greek Cross Squares on Point Nine Patch Feed Sack 80 x 68

Description: Vtg Quilt Top Greek Cross Squares on Point Nine Patch Feed Sack 80 x 68 This quilt has considerable browning to the sashing and border fabric, as well as more minor markings elsewhere. Stitching is generally holding well. There is fraying at edges, as you would expect of an unfinished quilt top. Please note damage to the last block near one corner, shown in photo 5. Free of offensive odors and added fragrance. It has a mild old stored fabric odor but not mildew, smoke or anything like that. It has been aired.This a quilt top, measuring about 80 x 68. It is not a finished quilt. It uses one of those blocks where I know I've seen it somewhere but can't find the name. Block center is a nine patch with colors chosen to show an equal-arm cross. It is set on point and surrounding it you have rectangles, another square patch at each corner, and all the triangles. It is mostly or all machine pieced. There is at least one fabric with feed sack seam markings, and other fabrics that are probably feed sack as well. At time of listing, I have multiple quilt tops, quilts, and blocks from the same estate. Some have a note on them from the 1990s indicating that "Grandma Flossy" made this quilt, and one even says that she liked to start them but didn't like to finish them, a problem I'm sure many of us are familiar with. Based on the note dates, and the age of the person who wrote the notes, I think the Grandma Flossy items start in the 1930s and go forward from there. I also have some bits that are clearly older. So help out Grandma Flossy and her foremothers! I'm sure she'd like it if you finished her quilts. I bet she also wouldn't mind if you took them apart to harvest blocks or fabrics, because having spent some time with her UFO stash, I can tell you that she had a good eye, and she never met a scrap she didn't like. Also, don't feel sad for her all her work. The family took a bunch of quilts to treasure…there were just too many for them to deal with.
