My book of pattern names calls this quilt Snow Crystal. It has been ditch quilted and also tied. I imagine it was tied to attach the new fabric backing some years ago. It is a heavy quilt so possibly a blanket is inside. We found this quilt up on the MN Iron Range some time back in a pile covered with lots of things that should have destroyed the quilt but it is in perfect condition. I would think it is from at least the 1940's and possibly made of feed sacks or flour sacks. Each fabric piece is repeated many times. There are 92 full hexagons.
Beautiful quilt. Blue boarder really sets it off.
