Placemat, Napkin: Square Dance 109, Green

Description

A two-color silkscreen print on fine white linen or 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.
