The center of this counterpane is composed of alternating wide and narrow block printed stripes, block-printed in pale dull yellow and brownish-gray with dark brown outlines. The wide border is block-printed in the same colors. Most of the blocks used in the border are the same as used to print the border of 1995.0008.01 which was later used as one side of a late 18th -early 19th century reversible quilt. Top and bottom edges are selvedges; side edges are turned to back and whipped.
The counterpane and quilt with similar block prints were found in New York tate. An analysis of the placement of the printed patterns on the fabric, and in the sequences of the printing and assembling, indicate the possibility of a local artisan printing variations to order.
