This coverlet has a central panel with a printed image of Queen Victoria, probably celebrating her Jubilee in 1897. The frames contain large patches of printed and plain cottons that have been sewn on by machine and were most likely added later as repairs. The coverlet is backed with a piece of ivory silk which has square diamond hand quilting attaching it to a linen foundation piece. This coverlet was given to Barbara Bailey by her mother.
