Small pieces of printed cotton in various colors patched to form a star medallion with scalloped outer edge. Each medallion set in white cotton about eighteen inches square. Twenty-five squares, each five by five inches, joined in a grid of strips of printed cotton, predominantly green. The center of each medallion plain white and several have handwritten inscriptions:

"Our mother / The First to Cherish / The last to desert us. / Wm D. Jones / Frances L. Jones / May 11, 1845."

"Made by Our Mother / Lucy Jones/ for / I.S. and M.P. Jones / 1845 / in her 64th year."

"Our Parents / May the Evening of their / lives be as the morning sun / I.P. and M.E. Jones."
