Frame quilt with pieced and applique frames of printed cottons alternating with un-pieced strips. One frame is made of applied clamshells with squares set in the corners, which form an unusual cable design. Other frames feature triangles and squares on point. The centre of the quilt uses an octagonal block printed panel of a cornucopia and flowers on a red ground. The whole piece is hand quilted.
