Applique Quilt

Marian Curtis Foster

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a decorative quilt with floral and nature motifs. The image shows a neatly arranged quilt composed of 25 square patches, each featuring intricate patterns that include flowers, foliage, birds, and other elements inspired by nature. The colors are vivid, with predominant tones of red, green, and blue, each individual square enclosed by a red border. The outer border of the quilt has a wavy green edge that encases the composition. Each section contains unique designs yet maintains a visual harmony across the whole ensemble.
