Placemat, Napkin: Square Dance 109, Blue

Description

A two-color silkscreen print on fine white cotton crash. Repeated design elements comprised of three motifs within ovals: a strawberry, a four-lobed cross, and a sunburst. Motifs are arranged asymmetrically on a field of green, with three vertical rows to the far left and three single ovals horizontally at the lower right (two strawberries and a sunburst). The asymmetrical nature of the composition allows for playful place settings depending on how the napkin is folded. Edges are straight stitched and fringed. These examples were used by the Wert family and/or the staff of Country Prints.
