Pieced and Quilted Coverlet

Maud M. Holme

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large geometric star composed of triangular and rectangular shapes with intricate patterns. The star is made up of burgundy wood panels with floral motifs. Surrounding the star is a grid of smaller squares and stars with varying colors and patterns, resembling a patchwork quilt. The use of different textures and designs within the shapes creates a complex and abstract mosaic-like appearance.
