Wholecloth quilt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Green wholecloth quilt by an unknown artist. The quilt is rectangular with a green background and features a repeating pattern of curved lines and shapes that resemble leaves or feathers. The pattern is created using a technique called quilting, where the fabric is stitched together to create a raised design. The quilt has a border around the edges, with a simple stitch pattern. The quilt is divided into sections by thin lines of stitching. The background behind the quilt is gray.
