Bow Tie Quilt

In my collection of quilts I have this bow tie quilt which we purchased at an auction.  It hangs in our downstairs bedroom/playroom.
  Looking at this photo makes me realize how I need to do some decorating on that shelf!  The bedroom has purple walls and I don't have many quilts with purple or lavender in them.  This quilt does have some in it, so it goes well in the room.
Each square is a bow tie with two white corners.
And four squares leaves a circle in the middle.

And of course it is hand quilted. I love a quilt that is in perfect condition. I'm guessing it was made in the 30's, but I don't really know.  Can anybody help me?
