Patchwork Quilt 1935 - 1942

Cora Parker’s “Patchwork Quilt” is a watercolor painting depicting a design for a traditional quilt. It features a repeated pattern of squares within squares, commonly known as a “log cabin” quilt block. The artwork is a study for a quilt, capturing the intricate arrangement of colorful fabrics in a single design. The different patterns of the fabric squares, including plaid, stripes, and florals, create a visual texture. The work is indicative of Parker's interest in the craft of quilt making and its significance in American folk art.
