This is a drawing of a star-shaped quilt design. The image features a quilt block with a central eight-pointed star pattern, created using fabric pieces with a floral motif in shades of red, pink, and black on a violet background. The star contrasts with the plain cream-hued fabric that frames the block. The number "1800" is stitched or printed in red on the plain portion of the fabric.
