Unfinished piece of mosaic patchwork using the jockey cap block, with a quartered circle set within a square block. The papers and tacking stitches are still intact, and the piece contains printed cottons of dress prints and some furnishing prints. The piece has been constructed in two distinct phases, with a central section of slightly larger blocks and older fabric prints, with additional smaller blocks that have been created and added at a later date. The fabrics of these older blocks look different in their colour pallette as well as the size being smaller. There are also nine unused constructed blocks, which were completed but not added to the main piece, and these are still separate.
