my mom had a
quilt like that

Hexagons, Mosaic Basket 1930s or 1940s, although the color sensibility looks like a modern choice. However,
nobody in this day and age would make a piece like this. eBay purchase in 2013. 77"x77" Fabric: Cotton.
Batting: None. Backing: No separate backing. The patches are folded and stitched tightly so no raw edges
show. Edge: No separate edge. Piecing: By hand. The patches are folded to the back so no raw edges show,
then stitched in a single stitch in the middle that doesn’t show on the front. Adjacent patches are joined
with a tight overcast stitch. Quilting: None. Condition: Very good. Lightly soiled.
