A square quilt or throw with elaborate random "crazy" or asymetrical patchwork featuring a wide variety of fancy and luxurious materials including damasks, plain woven, plaid, checked, and figured silks, ombre and figured velvets, voided velvets, cut velvets, and velveteens. Many ribbons are also found throughout, including a printed blue and yellow floral patterned ribbon, ribbons with mauve brown ground and multicolored floral designs, blue and brown patterned ribbons, and checks, stripes, plaid, and paisley designs. To the center right is a woven bookmark (a Stevengraph) depicting the ascending Christ and a large ornate cross that reads, "The Ascension"/I Am/the/Resurrection/and/the/Life/saith/ the/Lord". Each inner corner of the quilt/throw includes a pieced fan composed of various-colored fabrics and threads. The fan in the bottom right is made of black damask and dark tan silk with a black velveteen center embellished with pink embroidery threads in a feather stitch, and white chain stitch. The fan in the upper right has a burgundy velveteen center, figured "grey" and coral silk fabric with green feather stitches and yellow chain stitches. The fan in the upper left has a black velveteen center, plain blue and figured grey with brown stripes with yellow feather stitches, variegated blue decorative stitches and green chain stitches. The fan in the lower left corner has a black velveteen center with brown velveteen and very small black and white woven checks with blue feather stitches, decorative stitches, and a yellow chain stitch. This quilt boasts numerous outline embroideries in colored threads on various colored grounds. These include floral patterns, birds, butterflies, people, children, fish, a fan, snowflakes and star designs, tic-tac-toe design, a boy crying over a broken pot, a girl washing (?), a cat with a fiddle, and a spider in a spider web. Some of these are in the style of English illustrator Kate Greenaway. Numerous other embroidery designs in multiple colors of red, yellow, orange, green, blue (variegated and light blue), light green, pink, burgundy, olive green, mauve, dark gold (spiderweb), dark purple (spider),cream white, black, dark brown, coral, variegated pink, and purple are found, including many combination stitches covering the edges between patches of dissimilar fabrics. Painted decorations include several floral designs as well as a fan with a landscape scene. Towards the upper-center of the quilt appears an appliquéd red butterfly (probably commercially made) with embroidered features including metallic threads. The quilt has an inner border 2-1/2" to 2-3/4" inches wide of plain burgundy cut velvet. The outer "ice cream cone" border about 3-1/4" wide is created of alternating greyish cone-shaped pieces with triangles of patterned fabrics (stripes, plaids, monochromatic fabrics, and checks). A burgundy velvet cone shape pjnctuates each corner, and the binding of burgundy colored silk applied front to back with 1/4" showing on both faces follows the scalloped edge created by the cone sections. The quilt is backed in a heavy dark gold cotton fabric.
