Applique Quilt

Mildred E. Bent

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a square textile with embroidery. The textile features a green diamond shape in the center, filled with floral patterns and surrounded by various floral and vine motifs. The color palette consists mainly of greens, reds, oranges, and blues against a muted beige background. A green vase motif is centered near the top edge of the inner diamond, while smaller floral wreaths surround it symmetrically across the textile. Red and green vine borders frame the textile along all four edges.
