Arkansas Snowflake ~ 1742 S. Bunker Hill Road (36.046180, -85.533583)

"My Great Aunt, Ella Mae Howard, gave me the last quilt-top pieced by my Great Grandmother in 1952. She passed away in August of the same year at the age of 86. I never knew my grandmothers, but I remember Granny Howard ~ she pieced me a doll quilt. I was seven years old when she died." said Barbara Holman, "The pattern is simple, but pretty, containing some scraps of her dresses. As far as I can find out, the name of the pattern is 'Arkansas Snowflake.' I figured it was 'The Last of the Scraps' but I ran across the pattern in a photo on a barn and it was called that. My mother and I quilted the quilt."
