Quilt - "Rising Sun"

Maud Schmid

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an intricate pattern formed by zigzagging lines and chevron shapes on a quilt. The design consists of vibrant geometric shapes that create a hypnotic spiral or a series of colorful arrows converging toward the center. The border features lush floral motifs, framing the quilt like a field of blooming flowers.
