Quilted Applique Coverlet
c. 1936
Edward L. Loper sketched this charming design for a quilted coverlet around 1936, capturing the cozy aesthetic of traditional folk art with a modernist touch. The drawing features vibrant red and pink floral wreaths intertwined with green vines, all framed by a playful sawtooth border in matching colors. Notice the dimension line on the right marking '2' 4"', showing this was a practical blueprint for a real textile project rather than just a standalone piece of art. It's a delightful glimpse into how artists planned everyday objects with the same care as fine art.
