Description

Rectangular cloth bordered on the outermost edge by a gray fabric with a pink, yellow, and green floral design. The main design is an example of the "Courthouse Steps" quilting pattern and is created through fabric bars of various colors, patterns, and fabrics stacked on top of each other to form rows of roughly diamond shapes that alternate between black and colorful. the back side is made from the same fabric as the border and bears a repeating pattern of an abstract green and yellow flower or leaf pattern, blue circles, and pink, thorny vines.
