Colcha de retalhos
c. 1936
Elizabeth Valentine’s intricate design for a patchwork quilt bursts with a kaleidoscope of hexagonal patterns and floral motifs, looking almost like a giant, colorful honeycomb. Created around 1936, this vibrant composition showcases a meticulous arrangement of shapes—ranging from deep blues and greens to soft pinks and browns—interlocking like a complex puzzle. A smaller, monochrome sketch in the upper left corner reveals the underlying geometric structure, offering a fascinating peek into the artist's planning process before the colors were added. It’s a beautiful example of textile design that transforms simple geometric shapes into a rich, tapestry-like visual feast.
