Applique Quilt

Mildred E. Bent

National Gallery of Art

The image displays an intricate design with a large green diamond shape at the center. It is filled with swirling green vines and colorful floral motifs. The abstract presentation of these elements resembles a stylized nature theme, similar to a decorative tapestry or fabric pattern. Objects such as green urn-like shapes and red, star-like floral figures are woven into the design, reminiscent of ornate garden ornaments or stylized floral arrangements. Overall, the repeating patterns and vibrant colors create an abstract representation with connections to traditional textile designs.
