The center of this colorful patchwork quilt is made of solid, calico, and striped African fabric pieced together in two-inch squares to form a large rectangular block. A solid blue cloth provides an inner border for this rectangle as well as an outer rectangular border. The area between borders is pieced with colorful two-inch squares. The quilting, which was done by hand, skillfully outlines subtle squares, diamonds, and stars.
