This painting depicts a square section of a quilt. The quilt features an arrangement of curved and wavy shapes filled with smaller repeating patterns, all within diamonds formed by diagonal lines. The curved shapes all form a pink wreath-like shape, adorned with stylized floral designs in blue and yellow. At the center, the letters "E.O." are prominently displayed in pink. The rest of the quilt is beige.
