Patchwork Quilt

Elizabeth Valentine

National Gallery of Art

The image displays an arrangement of hexagonal and octagonal shapes with geometric patterns and lines forming a tapestry. It features colors like blue, pink, yellow, and purple. The patterns resemble stylized flowers and could be likened to a mosaic or stained glass window. An inset at the top left corner shows a different section of the design in more subdued colors.
