Path o' Gizzards

 

Texas Etsy dealer Shelby Anderson had this striking red and white quilt for sale at Shelby's Quilts.

It looks to be early-20th century or maybe late-19th by the prints---not much
to go on here. Is it pieced or appliqued?

Figuring out the repeat:

Here's the basic unit

set alternately dark on light and light on dark,
counterchange shading.

Shelby has called it a Drunkard's Path but it's not; it's more a Hearts & Gizzards
design. #1503 in the Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns.
