Name/Title

Strike-Off: Motif Gourmet, Onions 281, Turquoise

Description

A strike-off of Country Prints Motif Gourmet towel Onions 281 in turquoise. The print colors vary from later production examples (teal becomes turquoise, and the pinkish-orange color becomes brown), and it lacks the mottled texturing in some of the color areas seen in production examples. The strike-off also lacks the serged and bound edges with contrast stitching; see example below.
