Quilt - "Double Star"

Edith Towner

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a symmetrical design created with geometric shapes forming a diamond pattern in the center. It includes an abstract arrangement of squares, triangles, and star-like patterns in red, blue, and white colors. The blue shapes are decorated with white spots, adding a visual texture to the design. The shapes interlock to emphasize a complex geometric harmony.
