Applique Quilt

Ruth Buker

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a section of fabric with an intricate embroidered design. The pattern features swirling red and green threads forming floral motifs with small red buds and leaves. The background has a linear texture for depth, and the edges have a zigzag pattern like traditional embroidered trims. This is a meticulous textile illustration.
