Bag916/3

Large, square, flat envelope style bag made of a cotton patchwork textile with multi-coloured embroidered trim. The patchwork- made of red, yellow-green, green and brown strips- forms a pattern of concentric squares; alternate strips are embroidered in ladder stitch, using red, yellow and pale pink floss. The bag is made by folding and stitching three corners of the patchwork square together, leaving the fourth corner open as a flap. The seams that join the three corners are reinforced with embroidered motifs. The patchwork textile is quilted onto a finely-striped dark blue and tan cotton textile. No provision is made for fastening the flap.
