FURTHER DETAILS
Pattern
Summary: a blue striped rectangle seems to have been sewn down to a largely vanished half basket backing, with coarse overstitches on all four edges. On line of transverse border, the sewing incorporates, on both sides of the amalgam, blue 'piping'.
For measurements, see drawing.
