Quilt (Flowers in Circle) c. 1937

Ralph Atkinson's "Quilt (Flowers in Circle)" is a beautiful example of American folk art. Created circa 1937, the quilt showcases a traditional style of quilting with a circular motif at its center, surrounded by floral patterns that extend to the edges. The central circle, with its green and red hues, is a striking focal point against the light background, creating a sense of visual balance. The simple yet intricate design, typical of American quilts from the period, highlights the skill and artistry of its creator.
