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.
