Description
Square cloth. Outermost edges are bordered by plain, white cloth. An example of the "Drunkard's Path" quilting pattern, the main body consists of blue fabric with small white stars printed on it and plain white fabric arranged where the blue fabric is curved around a white half circle, resulting in a square shape. For every two of these squares there is a large, roughly cross-shaped white cloth piece surrounded by four half circles of the blue fabric. The back side is plain white with white stitches forming diamond patterns.
