Quilt 1935 - 1942

Suzanne Roy’s “Quilt” (1935 - 1942) is a watercolor on paper depicting a traditional American quilt design. The design features a central motif of a large rose with a repeating pattern of smaller roses on a vine along the bottom and sides. This design, which has been used in quilts for centuries, is a testament to the enduring appeal of floral motifs in textiles. The artist’s use of watercolor gives the piece a delicate and feminine quality, while the intricate detail of the quilting patterns emphasizes the skill and artistry involved in this craft.
