Iowa rest stop quilt blocks

What a delightful surprise to find these 'barn quilts' on the outside and the quilt blocks in the floor of the inside of the rest stop. They are in/on the rest stop on I80 on the east side of the state. The drunkards path tile in the floor was not very recognizable.

I would have been like you spending the time to take pictures. I wonder how this decoration of the rest stop got started. I bet the story is as good as the results.
