Description

Rectangular cloth bordered on the outermost edges by a thin, dark green fabric. The main body is an example of the "Fence Rail" quilting pattern and is made up of silk bars of fabric in various colors and patterns that alternate between five horizontal bars and five vertical bars; there is a black bar at the bottom and left edges every two squares resulting in black zig-zags stretching diagonally across the quilt. The back is a plain, dark green.
