Quilt, Wholecloth calamanco

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The quilt, titled "Wholecloth Calamanco" by an unknown artist, is an orange square quilt with a raised floral pattern. The quilt has a vibrant orange color and appears to be made of a textured fabric. The quilt's surface features a repeating floral pattern created through quilting, with the pattern raised slightly to create a three-dimensional effect. The quilt's edges are slightly uneven and appear to be raw, with no visible binding. The background behind the quilt is white.
