Red and black wool in stepped diamonds, row on row, with a small spark of green where the blocks meet. It is the most graphic sheet of the series — close to a modern abstract, and made a century before one.

The pattern is Log Cabin in its Courthouse Steps variation: every block is built from narrow strips laid around a small centre square, light on two sides and dark on the other two.

What this is. A giclée reproduction printed with pigment inks from a photograph of the quilt. It is not a textile and is not sold as one — the quilt itself, wool, pieced and quilted in New York between 1850 and 1890, is in a museum.
