Twenty one differnt turkey red damask scraps sewn together to make a tablecloth, picnic blanket or panel? Maybe it was sewn together by the wife of a mill weaver - he brought home a scrap of everything he was able to weave on the loom for posterity. I think the graphics and different odd shapes make this a real find - and I love how all of the reds are the same hue. I don't know if it's American, French or English...but I'm loving it and can see a great cheater cloth for a Moda collection!

What a find!!
That's beautiful! I probably would have hyper-ventilated when I found it. ;)
I don't often appreciate 'cheater cloth,' as it seems too contrived. This however, makes my heart sing! great find! hope you can talk MODA into it...
This is beautiful. Can't wait to see it in your collection. Please...
Perfection!
