Applique and Patchwork Quilt

A. Zimet

National Gallery of Art

This is an image of a quilt with floral and geometric designs. The quilt is made up of nine panels arranged in a 3x3 grid, each panel featuring distinct designs alternating between floral and geometric patterns. The color palette includes tones of blue, pink, red, and brown. The floral designs consist of stylized blooms with leaves and bows, while geometric patterns include starburst and circular motifs. This style is reminiscent of 19th-century American folk art quilt designs.
