Quilt

Edith Magnette

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a quilt with geometric and floral patterns. The quilt consists of various octagonal shapes made from patterned fabrics in shades of pink, red, and blue on a cream-colored background. The design includes large octagons interspersed with small blue diamond shapes. The stitching and fabric patterns are detailed, and the bottom right corner shows the reverse side with a small floral pattern. The style is reminiscent of American Folk Art.
