I stood in the lobby of a newly renovated building and admired the quilt I had been commisioned to create for that space. It echoed the tilework benches and planters very nicely. Well, it was all a dream. But the next morning, I went to my fabric stash and pulled out pieces in the colors I had dreamed. I liked it when I was awake, too! So here it is.
