I do have a 2' x 2' quilted piece of art in my BR. I'm getting kind of bored with it though. It's been there a few years. Time for a change. Realistically though, I've got quite a few quilts to make before I make another for the BR.
Think honor system. Hopefully no one takes what is not theirs.

How about a room with a view. (something like a window frame with critters (birds, cats, butterflies) and a view of distant hills, or flowers. (I can see vineyards if Italian restaurant, parrots if Mexican, etc.)

While the wooden barn quilt block certainly has merit, it lacks the warmth of a traditional quilt. Given the previously mentioned concerns of theft and lack of cleanliness, I'd just study the bathrooms in question. Look at the floor & wall tile colors and patterns. No tiles? - what other decorations are already in place, flowers, brass knob cabinets, wooden cut-outs of children, . . . ? Remember, one of the objectives is to make the bathroom look good, so take photos, then study the pictures. It'll come to you.

I wouldn't have a problem displaying a quilt in my bathroom at home, but it would be something that would have to be able to go through the washing machine on a somewhat regular basis. I love the looks of buildings where quilts are displayed on the walls, but I personally wouldn't buy a quilt that's even been displayed in a restaurant. After all my years of working in a restaurant and seeing the accumulation of dust and dirt attracted by the grease, I wouldn't want to expose something that took that much work to the filthy air. I would want the works of art framed to protect them whether it's in the restaurant bathroom or out in the eating areas.
