I was intrigued by this coverlet. I have not seen any others quite like this one. It looks like it could be a quilt by the design, though it's clearly woven. Although parts are in rough shape, I still bought it. Another one I wanted to study up close and personal.
Here's the flip side, where the white is more prominent.

Here's a detail of the front and back (opposite) sides for comparison.
It has an interesting texture, too. I have not seen this texture in the overshot coverlets.
Turkey Red refers to the color. In olden times, Turkey (the country, not the bird) made a particular red dye that was known as Turkey Red.
