This quilt is a "Rob Peter to Pay Paul", or a variation of Drunkard's Path. Maybe some one knows the exact name.

It is made out of sugar/flours bags and remnants of blue shirting fabric. Although from a distance there doesn't appear to be many shades of blue there are quit a few. Some of the blue fabric is also pieced within the blocks.
