Quilt patterns in Spain

My Dh and I have been touring Barcelona this past week so I've been quiet on the blogging front. Certainly no sewing going on. 

However I seem to find quilt patterns everywhere!  Yesterday we were in a lovely seaside town called Sitges that had the most quilt oriented benches I've ever seen! My Dh kept a calling it Stitches, which may mean that he has been well trained!

And there was this immense mosaic on a wall:

The hotel's steps:

Here is an idea of where we were:

Then back in Barcelona I found this:

Dirty and icky but surprising to see. 

In Barcelona, we visited a most spectacular church designed by Gaudi with amazing stained glass, which provides almost all the light and is placed strategically!! Segrada Familia

Cal you see that each section was pieced?? I can't see much lead in between, if any. 

I just love the colors!!

This is the outside:

It's not expected to be finished for at least another 10 yrs!

We fly home tomorrow and I'll post more pictures in the next few days. It's been a great trip and we saw quite a variety of places!  

Had to put our feet in the Mediterranean Sea for sure!
