Patchwork quilt
, with her embroidered patchwork quilt that displays all 48 (at the time) United States state flowers and birds, October 1940 at the National Gallery of Art at the National Gallery of Art A patchwork quilt is a quilt in which the top layer may consist of pieces of fabric sewn together to form a design. Originally, this was to make full use of leftover scraps of fabric, but now fabric is often bought specially for a specific design. Fabrics are now often sold in quarter meters (or quarter yards in the United States). A "fat quarter" is one square meter (or one yard by the width of the fabric, typically ) folded into four and cut along the folds, thus giving a relatively square piece of fabric on a side, as opposed to buying a quarter of a meter off the roll, resulting in a long thin piece that is only wide.
