The image shows five pieces of fabric arranged on a plain background. Two large diamond-shaped fabric pieces are at the top, and three square pieces are below, one of which is partially folded. The fabrics have various patterns in shades of blue, red, green, and pink. The diamond shapes are positioned near the top center, with one having a blue background and the other a green background. Two smaller square pieces are aligned beneath them, and a larger square piece is at the bottom with its bottom right corner lifted to reveal the design on the reverse side. The fabrics are arranged centrally with space between each piece. There is text beneath the largest square piece.
