Mosaic patchwork coverlet made from printed cottons and arranged in several frames, consisting of a large central section of hexagon rosettes separated by a pink cotton lattice design. This section is surrounded by a frame of small squares arranged in a trip around the world design, with each square measuring just half an inch, followed by a wide frame of triangles and a final outer frame of squares arranged in the ‘Trip around the World’ design, which are larger than the inner frame of the same style. The coverlet is edged on three sides by a short cream coloured fringe, and backed with a plain glazed cotton.
