Nine green and red cotton applique wreaths with leaves and flowers on a white cotton background, with an outer border of a winding stem with red flowers and green leaves. It has a frill around the outside and is densely hand quilted in a bellows design. The applique design is crudely stitched but the quilting stitches are very fine, suggesting there could be two makers.
The Quilters' Guild Collection is held by The Quilters’ Guild of the British Isles.
