Jessie T. Pettway’s versatility is represented by an elegant design of tapering strings in shades of red, yellow, blue, and gray, all framed by columns of bright red. The composition, suggestive of waving grass, resembles the oscillating pattern in the quilt that Gertrude Miller gave to her. Jessie appears perplexed by admiration of this quilt.
