Of course it's possible!
This page has a couple of pretty examples http://quiltinspiration.blogspot.com...uilt-show.html
Bella Bella Quilts by Norah McMeeking are just awesome and are still available.

A lot of the paper pieced patterns look like the Mosaics, especially Jacqueline de Jonge's and some of Judy Niemeyers.
It will be fun to see what you decide to make.

I would check out Jenny Byers web site, several of the quilts she makes look just like beautiful tile floors. It's not so much the pattern but the fabric she uses. I think you will find something there!!

Also check out the quilt style made by the Egyptian Tent Makers. here's a page of several of their quilts for sale with AQS. https://shop.americanquilter.com/mer...-for-sale.html Perhaps this is what she is looking for?
There is a video you can find on youtube.com (use Egyptian tent maker quilt as a search string) and they show you the process they use to make their quilts. Start with a small piece to get the technique down.
Or ... buy one of the quilts for her for Christmas

CHeck out this pattern by Anaka's Treasures http://ankastreasures.wordpress.com/...oroccan-tiles/ the version she did with the dark background is stunning, and the curves are applique and not pieced so that would make it tons easier as well !

Here is one that could work for you. It's just a variation on the 10-minute block. I plan to use this to make a Christmas runner with a snowflake in the center of each block. Found a great Bali Batik snowflake material. Here is the link to it.

i took pictures of the tiles in Spain and Portugal because i liked the idea of making them into quilt patterns. Someone beat me to it and there is a book based on the tiles out there. Not sure of the name but i'm sure you can find it using "tile quilts" as the keywords..

Google images of Tile Quilts. You'll find something to suit both your daughter's desires and your skill level. They're very popular and there are a lot of books and patterns available.
for instance

http://www.marinandcolusa.com/turkis...quilt-pattern/

Good luck on your Turkish Quilt and show us what you have done when it gets done.

It's my adult daughter 's turn for a quilt and she has suggested she'd like one that incorporates a more architectural look and feel like the mosaics with beautiful colors she saw on walls, ceilings and floors in Turkey a couple years ago. She showed me some photos which are lovely but they seem a bit complicated/intricate. Anyone know of a pattern that might create this type of quilt?
