Grandmother's Flower Garden
This Quilt was the most popular pattern after 1925
The "modern" quilters loved the endless color combinations and
ways the blocks could be set together. Thousands of small hexagons
were in the finished quilt.
Early names for this quilt were honeycomb and mosaic.
This quilt may have been truest to the Colonial Revival's ideal of reproducing early
American quilts, for the mosaic quilt was indeed made as early as the
end of the 1700s.
