Quilt

Lillian Causey

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a decorative quilt design with floral patterns. The composition features a quilt with six rectangular panels, each containing an identical floral motif. The central element of the design is a circular flower in red and orange tones, surrounded by green leaves and stems that extend outward. Each panel is bordered by a red line that separates it from the adjacent panels. The background within each section consists of a lattice pattern in a muted off-white or beige color, providing contrast to the bold colors of the floral design.
