Wheel of Fortune Quilt c. 1940

Edith Magnette's "Wheel of Fortune Quilt" is a striking example of American folk art, dating back to circa 1940. The quilt, composed of a grid of nine squares, features a variety of applique and quilting techniques. The vibrant circular patterns in the center of each square are set against a backdrop of pink, adding a touch of color to the mostly white fabric. The unique design and craftsmanship of this quilt speaks to Magnette's artistic talent and the enduring tradition of quilting in American folk art.
