Quilt Show Third Day... a Quilt With Real Heritage

Katherine Weathers' quilt entitled "Daddy Was a Bee Keeper" is packed with heritage. Little wonder it would garner some recognition at the Heritage Quilters' Fanfare! 

Based on the design of a quilt made by her great grandmother some time before 1891, Mrs. Weathers changed up some of the math making the sawtooth squares measure one inch, rather than the original quilt's 3/4 inch and adjusting the setting triangles accordingly. She stuck to the green and white, though, and ended up with a really charming reproduction.

The quilt label tells all, and shows both the original quilter and the inspirational quilt...or vice versa, perhaps.
