Wow - these panels can really test your eyes!

Bolt of 8 different  sample panels. each with a unique and densely patterned geometric motif.

Soft tan background with the patterning done in different colors. One panel has a small tear in it - see photo #5.

These "sampler bolts" were created by kimono design houses as catalogs for the newest designs of the season.  

Mostly discontinued as a practice by the 1970's, these bolts are getting harder and harder to find.  

They vary in length depending on the number of panels and the length of each sample, which also varies!
