Very primitive appeal with drops of misplaced dye or smudges from the artists hands as he pressed his blocks to the fabric, forever leaving his trace. It does not get any closer to "handcraft" than this.

Made of 100% cotton and measures approximately 72 inches across. They are color fast and can be machine washed separately on cool/gentle and tumble dried.
