This watercolor by Mary Berner, titled "Applique Bedspread," depicts a design for a traditional quilt, likely created for a bedspread. The image highlights a section of the quilt, featuring a repeating pattern of stylized flowers in a vibrant palette of orange, maroon, and teal green on a white background. Berner's depiction of the quilt shows her appreciation for folk art and domestic crafts.
