Quilted Applique Coverlet

John R. Towers

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a quilt pattern. The design consists of red starburst motifs arranged in a grid on a white background, bordered by a geometric red triangular trim. The central panel features evenly spaced red stars with pointed triangular petals radiating outward. Subtle circular and swirl patterns are visible within the background, along with a narrow red border with an alternating triangle pattern.
