Log Cabin Quilt

The image displays a series of geometric shapes made up of rectangles and squares arranged in a stepped pattern. The design features a combination of red and teal tones, with red dotted sections interlocking with teal and linear detailing. These shapes collectively form a tapestry or quilt-like pattern, where the red parts create a central figure against the teal background. The arrangement is reminiscent of traditional textile motifs, with the dotted pattern adding texture similar to buttons on fabric.
