The quilt has a cream-colored background. It features 20 blocks arranged in four rows and five columns. The blocks are circular or square and brown-bordered. The blocks depict various scenes and objects, including a cat on a windowsill, a tree with blue leaves and red fruit, a girl sitting on a couch with a dog on her right and a bird on her left, a girl sitting on a swing, a woman tending to another person on a couch, a girl standing on the ground holding a parasol with a dog on her right, an elephant, and a tree with blue leaves. A brown, blue, and pink curlicue design borders the quilt along with peach-colored flowers. Some of the blocks are circular, while others are square.
