"Quilt, Contained Crazy pattern" is a striking example of American textile art. Created in 1872 by Nancy Doughty, the quilt demonstrates the skill and creativity of the artist. The piece is composed of various fabrics sewn together in a seemingly chaotic, "crazy" pattern, within a structured grid of diagonal bands. The quilt, now residing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, reflects the ingenuity and resourcefulness of American quilting traditions of the 19th century.
