| Description: | Quilt is made from squares joined together. The squares seem to be made from cotton. The colours are off-white, black with white polka dots, light blue, a blue with white stripes, a faded blue with white stripes and a few squares with a plaid pattern of brown, yellow and white. The backing of the quilt feels as if it is wool. The quilted pattern is that of lines crossing over one another making stars. It is quilted with black thread. |
| Narrative: | A utilitarian quilt that would have been made for the warmth rather than the decorative pattern. |
| History of Use: | Made from old material from men's shirts. Quilted onto an old handwoven blanket. |
