Quilt or coverlet composed of squares of printed fabrics sewn with piping and lining of white cotton into a mosaic-like design and attached to squares of plain cotton, which form the ground. The topmost layer of the quilt or coverlet is composed of small squares (approximately 2-1/2" wide at the points, each of which has been lined with a square of white cotton and edged with the cotton being brought from the back to the front, hemmed under, and sewn with hand stitches into a narrow binding around each colored patch so as to form slightly curved sides. These top patches and meet with other colored patches at each point, their bindings creating a nearly circular network within which the square patches of color appear to "float." The colored squares are connected to plain white squares beneath them. The printed fabrics appear to be primarily of pastel palette, but cover a wide range from yellow, lavender, pink, lt. blue, and white to maroon, green, brown, aqua or teal, navy blue, and black. Prints include children's prints with animals and clowns, horseshoes, dots, large and small florals, stripes, squares and geometrics, plaids, tied kerchiefs. The reverse is composed of 256 squares of white cotton (16 x 16) each measuring approximately 4-1/4" and sewn together by hand with whip stitches. The circular designs on top are sewn into the squares at the joins, not attached within the squares, so that the circles of the top layer do not line up with the squares on the reverse. There is no batting and the patchwork cover is not quilted.
