Applique Quilt

Madeline Arnold

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a handkerchief with a floral pattern. The design includes red and pink flowers with green stems and leaves arranged diagonally across the handkerchief. The flowers have a stylized look with a mix of vibrant colors and dots against a grey leaf-patterned background. The handkerchief has red and green bands defining its borders. The composition appears balanced with the floral motifs creating rhythm across the fabric.
