About this piece
Black and white squares in a grid, wearing a green coat.
Women’s hands in Pakistan commonly make rallis like this one, a cotton patchwork quilt of the mid to late 20th century. Pieced and appliqued rallis are traditionally made at home and used on beds, benches and floors. Small squares in black and white are grouped into repeating blocks, each with a tiny cross at the center. A broad dark green border completes it. The cross at the center of each block is easy to miss, then impossible to unsee.
About 75 by 50 inches. Graphic, tidy and sure of itself.
