Handsewn, silk quilt made in a "half square triangle" pieced pattern. All sillks are bold, unpatterned fabric in multiple rich jewel tone colors. The quilting stitches are along each triangle seam, creating diagonal geometric stitch pattern on the reverse. The pieced area is bordered in blue silk, finely quilted in a small flower pattern, but most of the blue silk has been lost. Quilt is edged in yellow 1" grosgrain ribbon that appears machine-made. Reverse is cream or white unpatterned silk. Batting is very thin cotton. Original records mentions "Made by Mrs. Orrin Robbins for Mrs. Matthew Robbins".
