This quilt was made for a very cool and interesting guy. He worked as a custodian, and you never saw him without his bottle of Windex and a cloth. He traveled from office to office, dispensing his particular brand of wisdom. I decided to make actual windows. They're pieces of clear vinyl, sewed to each block. Those who worked in his favorite offices signed their own blocks. At the block intersections are glued tiny tools of his trade - a sponge, a bucket, a cleaning cloth. Take a look! The back of the quilt features a small pair of purple pajama pants: he was known to wear them to work on occasion. As one friend said at his retirement reception, there was something about him, and it wasn't the pajama pants. We still miss him and when he visits word travels fast.
