Here is my photo of the actual floor. This was taken in April of this year before the crush of summertime crowds, so I snapped a pretty clear shot as a pedestrian was "invading" the frame. It was enough for me to work up a rough sketch for a makeshift pattern.

I find my self drawing things I see, but have to wait tell next year, when I can play with all this wonderful patterns.

I assumed that was a picture of the floor and the next picture would be the quilt!

Inspiring! My first quilting teacher did a similar quilt using the pattern of the marble floor in the Utah state capitol building rotunda. Tell me, when you're working with batiks in a design like this, do you fussy-cut, or just let the patterns and colors fall where they may? Absolutely beautiful!
