Multi-coloured cotton and wool quilt with patchwork designs on both sides. The front design is geometric blocks including squares on point, stripes and squares, and the reverse is made up of simple square patchwork. The quilt is hand pieced and hand quilted, and is thought to have been made in Buckinghamshire. The outer border of the quilt was a later addition.
