Coverlet-Applique Quilt

Manuel G. Runyan

National Gallery of Art

The image features geometric squares filled with abstract floral patterns. The design combines angular and curved lines to create a visual rhythm. The shapes resemble stylized plants or flowers, with teal and ochre-colored segments. The arrangement forms a repeated motif, reminiscent of a decorative tiled pattern. An inset section showcases an enlarged version of a single flower-like element, highlighting stylized leaf and petal details.
