Crazy Quilt

Dolores A. Haupt

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a tapestry with irregular geometric shapes and curving lines in an abstract composition. The shapes are patched together like a quilt with various colors and patterns such as stripes, florals, and polka dots. The design resembles the appearance of patchwork quilts, commonly associated with cozy blankets or decorative wall hangings. It is bordered by alternating red and blue ribbon-like stripes.
