Quilters’ Questions – Can You Identify This Quilt?

I’ve received a number of questions about identifying quilt patterns various quilters have acquired.  I don’t have pictures, but from the descriptions, does anyone have an idea what it might be.  It’s simply fascinating, too, to learn some of the stories surrounding the quilts you own.
Ruthie asked:

Recently i was given a rather strange unfinished quilt. It was made of scraps of fabric, I think mostly of old clothing. The fabric is a real mixture of texture and colors and probably from th depression era. Going through it is a white 2 inch wide curving strip. It continues through each square. I don’t know that it is a pretty quilt, I find it sad but fascinating. Apparently it was from a grandmother that has either died or is in a rest home. It was given away along with others by the family because it isn’t finished or pretty. I have fallen in love with it. I can’t send a picture of it as I don’t know how to put photos on the computer, Does anyone out there have any idea of the name of this sad little quilt? Thank you.

Can you help Ruthie with identifying this quilt?  I’m searching through some of my books but haven’t found it yet.
