Quilt

Mural created by UW Medical Center patients
Located at NE Pacific St. & Pacific Pl. NE,
across from the UW Medical Center

Patients staying at the University of Washington Medical Center in early 1992 created this patchwork quilt in purples, lavenders, pinks and reds. UW Medical Center Artist-in-Residence, Diane Erickson designed the concept as an activity for patients that had to come into the hospital for ongoing tests. Most of the people that created the quilt were at the hospital for one to three days, some for a week or more. They could personalize their quilt pieces with symbols, pictures or other decorations. The over-all design and colors reflect the patterns and hues of the surrounding area and complement the brick plaza around the shelter area.

Completed Summer 1992
