Patchwork and Applique Quilt

Mary Berner

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a collection of zigzagging lines and diamond shapes creating a pattern on one side, while the other side displays swirling vines and floral motifs. The shapes weave together to form an intricately detailed textile pattern with colors including greens, reds, and pinks. Leaves and flowers are intertwined among the designs, combining geometric and organic elements. The arrangement evokes a sense of an intricately woven quilt blending nature with abstract artistry.
