Tulip Pattern Quilt c. 1937

"Tulip Pattern Quilt" (c. 1937) is a quilt designed by Mabel Ritter, who was a prolific quilter in the United States. The quilt displays a simple but elegant repeating motif of green tulip stems and red blossoms on a white background. The repetitive pattern, a common element in folk art, is framed by a red border, and the overall effect is one of understated beauty and timeless charm. This type of quilt is an example of traditional American quilting, highlighting the craftsmanship and ingenuity of everyday individuals.
