About this piece
Two glowing diamonds, a magenta heart in each.
Makers in Pakistan stitched this ralli, or patchwork quilt, in cotton in the mid to late 20th century. The form is associated with Sindh and nearby regions, where rallis often serve as bedding and gifts. Stepped bands radiate outward in orange, rust, yellow and pink, and black and white squares add contrast. A pale rose border settles the intensity. The checkered corners keep the bright middle from running away. The effect is warm and a bit electric.
About 82 by 51 inches. Sunset, stitched together.
