Quilts to be on display at Watkins museum

An exhibition, “Flitterin’ Beauties: Butterfly Quilts from the Rose Collection,” will be on display through June 11 at the Rice Gallery at Watkins Community Museum of History, 1047 Mass.

John and Marian Rose, of Prairie Village, collected quilts and afghans throughout their travels in Kansas. They acquired many of them at garage sales and unique shops.

In October 2004, the Roses donated more than 200 quilts and afghans to the museum.
