Pakistani Ralli or Patchwork Quilt

Yellow, red and green diamonds on a generous scale.

A Pakistani ralli, or patchwork quilt, in cotton, dated to the mid to late 20th century. In many households a ralli doubles as bedding, seat cover and a gift for a new household. Large diamonds in red, green, yellow and white are outlined with black triangles, and a beige border finishes the edge. The pattern has room to breathe. The scale is larger than most, so each diamond reads from across a room.

About 98 by 68 inches. A wall statement that needs no frame.
