Quilt Block

Frank Maurer

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a geometric design with a large diamond shape composed of smaller triangles and squares arranged abstractly. In the center, there is a two-toned star or sun motif consisting of a grey hexagon surrounded by red and brown triangular shapes. The surrounding brown triangles create a pattern resembling a quilt-like diamond patch.
