A block style quilt consisting of 49 blocks (each approximately 7-1/2" square alternating within rows and columns between pieced blocks and blocks with printed designs on a cream ground. Pieced blocks are each composed of 25 smaller blocks 1-1/2" square cut from fabrics of two color groups arranged chromatically from light to dark within the larger square. These fabrics are printed in chromatic shades of blue, golden brown/yellow beige, green, and red/pink. These blocks are positioned to form large overall patterns of concentric squares of blue, pink, red, green, and brown set on point. The printed blocks and the border reproduce motifs and patterns on a cream ground simulating the designs originally made in appliqué on the Samuel Williams Quilt (BMA 1988.206). The pseudo-appliqué blocks are arranged alternating with the pieced blocks throughout. In the center of the quilt is a block with a printed American eagle, with flag and shield, Liberty cap, and floral sprig. At each corner and side of this center block are printed blocks depicting appliquéd wreaths of fruit or flowers. Beyond these blocks are another ring of blocks with more elaborate designs depicting an eagle with cornucopia, a bird above a lyre, or a bird within a wreath of oak leaves and acorns. The four corners of the quilt within the border are each filled with one of four different printed wreath motifs. A printed border with a one inch blue and green dotted and striped edge near the field and a 7-5/8" section adapted from the intertwining floral vines of the Samuel Williams quilt, surrounds the block-based field of this quilt. The border is mitered at each corner. The background of this border and all pseudo appliquéd motifs is a printed "mottled" cream ground that approximates the look of aged cotton. The quilt is backed in a printed beige floral patterned cotton. (Not one of the fabrics from the Williams Quilt collection). The edges are bound in one of the printed blue scroll fabrics attached on the straight of the fabric by machine on the front and by hand whipped stitches on the reverse leaving 3/8" showing on each face. Otherwise, the quilt is constructed and quilted entirely by machine. Quilting is in white thread and generally outlines the major motifs in the pseudo-appliquéd fabrics. The pieced blue/brown and red/green squares have a quarter fan-shaped quilting pattern in one corner. The border has an overall "squiggle" quilting pattern.
