Look What I Found: Antique Handmade Quilt

I like going to second-hand stores, thrift stores, and antique shops whenever possible.
This is my latest find, a beautiful old patchwork quilt!
I know very little about old quilts or dating them, I just like them and collect them if the price is right.  
This is one of my best finds yet at $8.99.
I found this quilt especially interesting because of the quilt pattern and the stitched names.

A patchwork quilt is a quilt in which the top layer consists of pieces of fabric sewn together to form a design. Originally, this was to make full use of left-over scraps of fabric.

If you are reading this post and can shed more light on this quilt I would really appreciate it!
