Baskets pattern quilt of cotton. Thirty full-size blocks set on point have baskets made of pieced small scale pink print with tiny red squares and white lines that alternate with solid blocks of another small scale pink print with tiny foliate motifs. Baskets are all hand pieced except for the arched basket handles which are appliqued. Basket made of pink on white ground, using triangles for the body, trapezoid for the foot and arch for the handle. Basket handles vary as to which pink print was used.
