Turkey Red Calico, a fabric that cannot be reproduced, is rare and very expensive. Created from a 21 step process in many different designs. This Turkey Red and the Overdyed Green are fabrics that are unused. The quilting was done at a later date.

Both of these fabrics were extraordinarily expensive, giving us insight to the social status of the quilter.
