What is This Quilt Block?




Can anyone tell me what this quilt block is called? The top was brought by a Triangle Guild member Sylvia yesterday for our bed turning at our quilt show at Fall Festival. She said it was made by her Grandmother Loop in the 30s or 40s.
The bedturning evolved into a very interestng variety of questions about preserving antique quilts. We need to do some research and present a program on Quilt Preservation.
One man looked at my Nickel Brick quilt and asked "What is a nickel?" I was able to show him a 5" square and tell him.
Appropriately a Christmas elf named Grumpy was put on a little bench under Bob's red white and blue quilt.
We had a good time answering questions and chatting with the quilt viewers.
Time to start sewing for next year's entries.
We are thinking we should suggest that Fall Festival be renamed the Fall Rain Festival. It poured in the morning. By the time we unloaded the rain had stopped and the [shhhh] sun came out. This is at least the third year it has rained at Fall Festival.
