In this quilt, the referenced location is more a state of mind than a street address. The variety of rich blue colors plays on the theme of the blues musical genre. The colors also create a mood or sense of place. Perhaps we have all experienced days when the blues was our address. The quilt’s title, colors, and forms work together to create an enveloping sense of feeling, sound, and reflection.
