Patchwork Quilt

Margaret Linsley

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a rectangular composition of various geometric shapes, primarily triangles and squares, creating a symmetrical pattern. The design resembles a patchwork quilt with sections filled with diagonal lines, floral patterns, and small dots lending texture to the shapes. The arrangement of triangles and squares collectively forms larger square-like figures, resembling quilt blocks, with adjacent patterns in contrasting tones of peach, grey, and white. The border is detailed with narrow, alternating strips of color and line patterns, suggesting the binding of a quilt.
