When I read the word architectural, I was reminded of a quilt I saw years ago that was just basically a two color Bargello except that the lower color was black with white prints, (think a graph showing up and down trends) the upper color was a soft blue, it had a good size round yellow sun in one corner, and through the middle of the quilt was a tracing of a heart beat in red bias appique. The name of the quilt was "heartbeat of the city" It was so unusual and beautiful.
