This is a drawing of a quilt design featuring a circular pattern with pink and green starburst motifs. The design includes intricate quilted textures and patterns, with the center showing pink and green pointed shapes radiating outward. The geometric design is bordered with layers of linear patterns in shades of pink and green. There is also a smaller inset drawing at the bottom left showing a similar circular pattern. The composition suggests a precise approach to quilting, focusing on color harmony and symmetry.
