Crib Quilt

Cora Parker

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a quilt design. The sketch shows a quilt pattern featuring a repetitive arrangement of star motifs with different colored points. The central design is organized into a grid-like structure where individual stars are made from triangular pieces in varied pastel shades. The background of the drawing shows lined patterns. This composition suggests a planned and symmetrical pattern, which might be intended for stitch quilting or fabric crafting. Each star is carefully positioned, reflecting the artist's attention to precision and color arrangement.
