content: Fragment of a cotton and wool, overshot coverlet weave in a block pattern. The overshot design on the wrong side, according to the seam, is a simplification of the draft "Dog Track" and is developed in blue and pink (faded) wool yarns. Two pieces have been joined to form this square which is part of a coverlet brought to Missouri from Kentucky, but the place of origin is unknown. It has been in the family of the donor about 200 years.
