Pieced Quilt

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a quilt design. The image shows a quilt with a traditional patchwork pattern combining deep blue, small floral squares with a light, intricately quilted background creating a delicate texture of outlined feather-like paisley motifs. The border is made of blue patches forming a zigzag frame. In the upper right corner, there is an inset displaying a close-up of the blue patterned fabric with a repeated diamond and cross motif, offering a detailed view of the intricate design. The composition suggests a harmonious blend of geometric and organic elements in quilt design.
