A square crazy quilt composed of irregular pieces of fabric including solid silks in yellow, red, navy blue, purple, maroon, teal blue, lt. blue, pink, brown, lavender, gold, gray-green, and beige; velvets in solid red, greenish-blue, gold, navy blue, brown, peach, lt. blue, and maroon; and fancy weaves in a multitude of colors and patterns including paisleys, florals, geometrics, stripes, grosgrains, voided velvets, and brocades. At the center of the quilt is a six-pointed star formed of six diamonds. Surrounding the center star is a crazy patchwork with numerous decorative motifs including embroidered animals and birds (dog, cat, herron, robin), various embroidered and appliqued flowers (roses, daisies, violets, clover, carnations, etc.), numerous Japanese inspired motifs (embroidered fans of assorted shapes, teapot and teacup, vase, butterflies, dragonflies), figural motifs similar to Kate Greenaway illustrations embroidered in outline (a girl with a rake, five little girls in coats, muffs and hats; a child with an umbrella), and miscellaneous motifs including butas, leaves, and an artist's palette. In each corner of the quilt is a block approximately 11' square featuring a pieced fan motif and embroidered flower (pansies, daisies, golden rod, lilies). Seams between patches are covered in various decorative stitches including variations of the feather stitch, closed herringbone stitch, and many fancy stitches in multiple colors of silk thread. A 5' wide greenish-blue cut velvet border surrounds the quilt. A 1/2' round cording of blue velvet with silk, linen and gold-wrapped metallic thread surrounds the edges. The lining is formed of three widths of a macihine quilted reddish purple silk (25-1/4', 27', 12-3/8' to 13-1/4') sewn through a cotton batting, but not through the quilt top. The quilting stitches form diamonds approximately 3-1/2' to 3-3/4' in size.
