I really like that quilt, looking forward to how it develops. Do that have more of these or planing more, it is a nice feature.

It is one of several Quilts in several towns in northern Indiana. They call it the Quilt garden tour. I visited about six.
They also have murals on some buildings.

That is a wonderful idea but a lot of work. Wish they had a place that you could get up higher to take a picture from above.

I think a stool might be safer and will not complain as much.
