A portion of a quilt without its backing, made of pieces of velvet and silk sewn together to form a 3-D effect of stacked cubes. Diamond-shaped pieces of paper have been basted into the quilt to keep the shapes precise. This quilt was possibly made by Ann Smith's grandmother or great-grandmother from Windham.
