Could You Make a Quilt with 11 Friends?
 
Aiko Saito did just that. Using textured fabrics and help from 11 friends, Aiko created The Beautiful Tiles of Park Güell. They used the fabrics to imitate the tiles in the park. Aiko suggests that you observe the quilt close up and then take a look back from afar to enjoy its beauty. The Park is in Barcelona, Spain and a picture of it is below the quilt pictures. It should now be on your bucket list to see the quilt and the park in person.
 
The Beautiful Tiles of Park Güell was on exhibit at the Houston International Quilt Festival 2018.

Words can not express how I felt when I saw this quilt.
Especially the close up of the town. Just breath taking. I wish they would told the size and how long it took for us still young quilters. The time would not shock me as all great things take TIME

I've been to this park several times and can attest that these women produced an awesome homage to Antoni Gaudi
