content: This cushion cover is pieced of 3-inch squares. Each square is composed of 2 triangles of plain or satin weave silk and a diagonal strip made of 7/8-inch black silk ribbon, the edge of the ribbon strip is decorated with feather stitching. Squares are machine-joined. The cover is lined with dark red silk. The cushion cover is a small, somewhat restrained, example of the popular crazy-patch type needlework popular in the late 19th century.
