Quilt - "Double Star"

Edith Towner

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a quilt pattern design featuring geometric shapes and a red, white, and blue color scheme. The drawing showcases a diamond-shaped pattern with smaller geometric shapes within it, including squares and triangles in alternating colors: red, blue, and white. The blue areas are filled with small white dots. The top and bottom sections of the diamond pattern mirror each other. The design is set against a grid background with diagonal lines adding a crosshatch texture to the space. The overall composition is bordered by a pattern of parallel lines.
