Mexico- Patchwork Pattern Inspiration 01






These are ecclesiastical sources; the squares within squares are to be found in Merida Cathedral, the spools in Campeche Cathedral and the tiled church front is that of Ex-Templo de San Jose built in 1756 by Jesuits in Campeche. I find the blue/white/yellow squares on point give a slightly disorienting look although they are regulr. It must be to do with the nature of the colour contrasts, I think.
