Quilt Applique

Mildred E. Bent

National Gallery of Art

The image features geometric shapes and lines arranged in an abstract composition. There are five-pointed stars outlined in alternating bands of red and yellow, enclosed within large circular areas. Winding lines and intricate detailing in blue connect these elements. Floral-like motifs decorate the background between the stars. Leaf-like shapes alternate with striped and patterned elements around the border, creating a frame for the design.
