Applique Quilt

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a patterned textile or quilt featuring a square piece of fabric with a geometric and floral design. The fabric has a pattern consisting of a branch with stylized leaves and buds in pink and yellow with green stems. The design also includes geometric shapes, such as a semi-circle filled with alternating green layers, possibly representing foliage or a decorative border. The background shows diagonal lines crisscrossing to resemble quilted stitching. The edges of the fabric are bordered with a soft pink line.
