The quilt features a large green square in the center. The center square is bordered by a thin dark brown rectangle on all sides. Outside the dark brown rectangle, on the left and right sides, are two long vertical rectangles, red on the outside and dark brown on the inside. The top and bottom of the quilt have a brown rectangle across, outside the green center and dark brown border. The top and bottom rectangles are divided into three sections; the center section is orange and the two outer sections are dark brown. The outer border on all four sides is dark green. The quilt has a visible texture on all the fabric sections.
