We went on a trip to Istanbul where we were able to visit the beautiful mosques and palaces. The patterns and colours of the tiles are an inspiration and I made this quilt as my homage to the craftsmen who designed and decorated these amazing buildings. I was also inspied by Pat Holly's "Turkish Treasures"

My colour palette came from the tiles and is turquoise, cobalt, navy, white and green. I drafted the patterns by hand using small elements of the tiles and putting different sections together
