Quilt made from squares of different printed dress wools with varying scales of floral motifs. The simple square design has brown sashing with orange corner posts. Many of the blocks have a shine and harsh feel to them, indicating the presence of mohair. One of the designs was printed 'a disposition', which means it was intended to form a design on the waistband or hem of a garment, such as a skirt.
