Quilt (Corner Section)

Cornelius Christoffels

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a quilt design featuring a large pattern composed of stylized red flowers with green leaves on a cream background. The color palette includes shades of red, green, and cream with subtle hints of yellow within the floral pattern. The flowers are in the upper left section of the design, arranged diagonally, and red triangular shapes form a pattern in the middle, moving from the bottom left towards the top right corner. A vine with green leaves winds along the right and bottom edges of the quilt square.
