Patterns, patchworks and projects
This could easily be translated into a quilt pattern for the modern sewist. It’s ancient modern though – a detail of a woven shirt from the Wari period, Peru.
Here’s another textile from the Wari period, a tunic made from small pieces of cloth each tie-dyed. Patchwork from dyed cloth back in 750-950 CE, amazing.
