I had been to the "Gardens of the World" in Berlin.
It's a large area with gardens which are created in different styles:
Chinese, Japanese, English, Balinese ....
I especially loved the Moroccan Garden, which also shows lots of gorgeous mosaics.
And in these mosaics I recognized some of these ancient forms which also occur in quilt patterns,
and here it was again, what I so much love, the bridge between different cultures and centuries,
shown in patterns which occur all over the globe at different times.
Here are some pictures of the mosaics and pictures of quilt patterns.
