Quilt c. 1939

This design for a quilt by Alice Cosgrove, dated c. 1939, features a repeating pattern of red tulips with green stems and leaves, set against a white background. The detailed design is created using a combination of embroidered stitches and drawn lines in pencil, highlighting the process of quiltmaking. The quilt design itself is framed by a border of a continuous vine with red flowers, again in both drawn and embroidered forms. This design would likely be used as a guide for creating a larger quilt, and shows the artist's dedication to detail in planning the intricate design.
