This is a photograph of a quilt. The quilt features a large, central starburst pattern made of small diamond shapes in vibrant colors including yellow, red, blue, green, and purple, radiating from the center. The starburst is surrounded by four sections, each with floral motifs consisting of red and yellow flowers on a dark blue background. A red zigzag border framed by a yellow strip provides contrast around the quilt, and there is a corner of the quilt turned over to show the pattern on the back, which is a simpler design in reddish-brown.
