A nineteenth-century, Pennsylvania weaver wove this red, blue, and green, all-wool, turned twill woven coverlet. The turned twill pattern forms a squared off design with diamond twill sections. There is self-fringe along three sides. The coverlet was constructed of two panels, woven as one length, cut, and seamed together to create the finished width. The coverlet measures 92 inches by 74 inches.
