About this piece
Stars like exploding flowers, in coral, teal and lemon.
Pakistani makers stitched this ralli, or patchwork quilt with star motifs, from cotton in the mid to late 20th century. Rallis are commonly made in Sindh and neighboring regions from pieced cloth and used as bedding and floor covers. Round star-like blocks in red, green, yellow and white tumble across a dark ground in a tight repeat. A bright turquoise border frames the cloth. The colors are vivid and playful, with a neat, even stitched surface throughout.
About 80 by 54 inches. Sunny, busy, and never boring.
