Patchwork Quilt - Top

Bertha Semple

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a grid of six circular motifs with pointed, triangular shapes radiating from the center in a starburst pattern. Each circle contains alternating triangles in green, red, and orange converging towards a central green circle. The design suggests symmetry and repetitive patterns often seen in quilt designs or decorative tiles, with each component aligning to form a cohesive layout.
