81 x 88 inch 'Grandma's Flower Garden' but is a variation because doesn't have yellow center and green and other circles. Didn't have anybody around to tell her how to do it so just did it. Audrey calls it 'WWII Feed Sack Mosaic'. First quilt Audrey Peters ever pieced outside of a nine patch and she figures she did it all wrong because didn't know to piece bias and straight edges together--but dame out fine anyway! Done around 1948 or 1950 or so when lived on Mt. Scott. Finished quilt around 1972.
