​Looking Closer

​The Moorish use of symmetries in the tiles of the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain, is an endless source of inspiration for any quilt artist interested in mathematical shape.  I am no mathematician but my design for Serenity sprung from one of these tile designs.  There was need to seriously simplify the interconnecting circular lines in order to be able to use a continuous stitch line on this small piece in my Sacred Places series.  If I had a lifetime available the body of work based on these beautiful tiles is infinite.
