Applique and Quilted Coverlet 1935 - 1942

"Applique and Quilted Coverlet" is a design by Manuel G. Runyan, created between 1935 and 1942. This detailed artwork showcases a repeating pattern of stylized floral motifs and crescent moons in shades of brown, green, and yellow. The design is created using the technique of appliqué, where fabric pieces are cut and sewn onto a background fabric, and quilting, a technique that involves stitching layers of fabric together to create a three-dimensional effect. This work is a testament to Runyan's artistic skill and appreciation for traditional craft.
