Honey Bee Variation Quilt – 1948
This double-sized quilt was made in 1948 by my great-grandmother Rose Brown Tague, using solid cottons.
There are two alternating blocks: the pink and purple block with solid pieced center and appliqued bee wings and bodies; and the pieced snowball block with green corners. Daisy-like flowers are quilted in the snowballs.
Grandma Rose added a serpentine border, turning the bee shapes into leaves.
Now owned by B J Bower.
