Quilt - Tulip Pattern

Fred Hassebrock

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a grid-like pattern with vertical and horizontal lines intersecting to create an abstract structure. Within the grid are floral shapes resembling blooming flowers, with green stems, leaves, and red petals. The flowers are symmetrically arranged within each grid square. Swirling line work in the background resembles woven fabric or lace, adding complexity to the composition.
