Description: The rainbow theme gets a new twist on a four-directional mesh network depicting a mosaic from the Alhambra palace, Grenada.

A palette of shaded grey frees these textile fragments from the full chromatic spectrum The quilting follows the contours of each fragment making up the mosaic’s geometric base, apart from the colourful silky textiles, which have not been quilted.
