Quiltmaker, American, 1936 - 2006

This is a photograph of a quilt featuring a geometric pattern in red and white. The quilt is composed of square blocks arranged in a repeating pattern to create a design. Each block consists of a red and white triangle, forming multiple four-sided shapes with alternating red and white colors. The quilt is tied at intervals with white yarn, giving it a textured appearance. The binding around the quilt is white. The appearance suggests a traditional style with a modern graphical twist due to the color scheme and pattern repetition.
