This is a drawing of a stylized quilt pattern in a hexagonal shape mounted on a handle. The central hexagon is filled with three-dimensional cubes colored with vibrant shades and patterns resembling quilt blocks. Some cubes have patterns such as stripes, polka dots, and various textile-inspired designs. The colorful cubes create a dynamic composition. The hexagon is bordered by a subtle dotted line, and below it is a long handle. The artwork is labeled "Westchester County" and attributed to "Maud Schmid."
