| Physical Description: | This quilt is made of cotton and is hand pieced and hand quilted. The design is formed with red triangles and twelve red squares against an unbleached white background. There is some machine work. The border is quilted with running feathers and six pointed stars. The plain panels are quilted with diagonal lines. |
| Description: | Using only two colors and two simple shapes, an unnamed quilt maker created a piece with striking contrast. Curving hand-quilted feathers complement the sharp angles of its pieced design. |
