Elongated hexagons

Knowing I'm a quiltmaker a neighbour asked me over for coffee and to look over her family quilts made during the war by now very elderly or late relatives. I was able to tell her they were hand sewn over papers with tiny invisble stitches. A real fabric resource and by people who really knew how to sew.The border on one was mitred and backing and front edges turned in. Technically they are coverlets as typically of this variety of patchwork they have no wadding or quilting.
As the origin of quilts gets lost over the years I suggested she make a record of the makers and dates. One lady had said it was a very calmng activity in time of war.
