Applique Quilt

Ruth Buker

National Gallery of Art

This abstract image features repeating shapes in a symmetrical composition. The design consists primarily of red and green motifs radiating from a central point. The central element resembles a stylized red flower with yellow accents. Surrounding it are tulip-like forms, spiraling green stems, and red dotted circles. The shapes are contained within a square frame, with a wavy line background for texture.
