Wide ruffled layer hanging composed of strips of two pink, one green, one yellow and one blue pieces of fabric, stitched together. On the top (blue) strip there are stitched on diamonds in pink, blue, red, and cream. Incredibly faded in places, many holes along bottom, loose threads, and fraying edges. Along this top edge, made of the same blue fabric there are loops, probably for hanging. [COB 13/9/2018]
