Square quilt with a honeycomb pattern. The quilt is made up of many small hexagonal pieces of fabric sewn together to form a larger design. The hexagons are arranged in a repeating pattern of flowers and stars, with a central symmetrical design that radiates outward. The colors of the hexagons are muted and pastel, including shades of brown, pink, blue, yellow, and green. The quilt has a dark brown border with a zigzag pattern. The overall effect is one of intricate and detailed craftsmanship. The quilt is titled "Honeycomb Quilt" and attributed to Elizabeth Van Horne Clarkson.
