Quilt, The
The production of the new quilt is finished. The young consumer finds a square from her baby pajamas, a square from the shirt she wore on her second birthday, and a square from the material her mother used to produce her stuffed dog Sally. How can she possibly sleep when there is so much to look at, to remember, and to dream about?
