This picture shows a section of my light quilt, which I take with me when I'm traveling,
the pattern is a lovely one I think:
depending on how you look at it, it shows a couple of "Six-pointed Stars" or
"Tumbling Blocks".
… and I had been very surprised and delighted when I discovered - when I stayed in Weimar/ Germany for a couple of weeks - that the very same pattern can be found on the floor of the entrance-hall of the very lovely Anna-Amalia-Library, which was founded in 1766 (I don't know when these floor-tiles were built in.)
More information on this fascinating pattern can be found here:
I always love to see that such patterns occur in multiple situations and places, that they are rooted in different cultural traditions and crafts…and that these patterns are building silent links between them.
