Sister Quilt, Maddy

A patchwork grid of log-cabin squares folded in half. Each square is composed of rectangles that spiral around one central square with a red corner wrapped in green, evoking a pimento olive. The aggregation of brown printed fabrics and pastel fabric creates a secondary grid of stepped squares, alternating dark and light. The backside is a delicate blue floral pattern with scattered patches and squares rotated 90 degrees within larger squares.
