content: Reversible tied scrap quilt made from clothing fabrics in various colors, fibers, and weave structures. One side has strips in different sizes of rectangles and squares sewn into rows. The edges of this side are turned over and hand sewn to the other side to form the binding. On the other side there are several large pieces of red fabric, including two long rectangular strips at the center with a ten-piece block of small rectangles between them at the dead center. A mixture of square and half-triangle blocks are pieced together in rows, with some large rectangular black blocks interspersed, to form the remainder of this side. A thick layer of batting placed between the two sides, with the layers attached by ties in blue, white, and red yarn.
