"Also know as the float weave, 18th and rural 19th century examples made by home and itinerant weavers on four-harness looms that were once as common a household appliance as dishwashers are today. Because they were fashioned on crude weaving machines, Overshot Coverlets are necessarily geometric in design incorporating a wide variety of stripe, square, diamond, medallion and other patterns. Made in two parts, they are always seamed in the middle. These readily available coverlets are undervalued and compliment 18th century and high country design." https://www.antiquetalk.com/index.php/antique-talk/25-antique-talk/clothing-textiles/120-antique-coverlets-an-american-heirloom#:~:text=In%20the%20corner%20block%20of%20his%20coverlet%20the,owner%27s%20town%2C%20county%2C%20state%2C%20and%20date%20of%20weaving.
