Applique Quilted Coverlet

Jules Lefevere

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a decorative quilt pattern. The quilt features a series of intricate, floral and circular motifs arranged in a grid-like pattern across the fabric. Each square on the quilt holds unique designs, ranging from wreaths made of leaves and flowers to decorative elements featuring birds and geometric shapes. The border of the quilt is adorned with repeating vine and leaf patterns. The various shades of reds, blues, and greens contribute to a harmonious color palette that ties the diverse patterns together.
