History
This quilt was made by Helen Sparkman (born 1949) in the late 1960s. It was her first quilt. Helen is the great grand- daughter of Matilda Pitt and great niece of Clara May Pitt whose quilts have been registered.
Helen remarked that she thought quilting and hexagons were synonymous and that she naturally followed her great aunt Clara and chose hexagons as her first project.
