The 100 Day Project - Day 6 of My "1 Motif 100 Ways" Pattern Series

"Borba", by Carlyn Clark of "The 1 Motif 100 Ways" series for day 6 of "The 100 Day Project"

I took a more painterly approach to today's pattern. Inspired by the Portuguese city of Borba, which is famous for wine I chose to use a warm burgundy as the predominant color and added colors I found in a Portuguese textile scrap.  Once again, I took apart the motif and rearranged the elements before putting it into repeat. Although it was inspired by textiles more than tile, using a square full-drop repeat gives it a tile-like feeling.
