Part of a quilt showing a kitchen theme. Background is blue with a grey arch behind. Top shelf has a plant, a pair of canisters, a hanging lamp, and a sign ("Coffee").

The incomplete third shelf has three hanging cups, the top of what looks to be a coffee maker, a travel mug, and a take-out coffee cup.
