The Ground Cover project was installed in an empty lot in downtown Phoenix, Arizona on the NW corner of 1st Street and McKinley. The installation took place on December 6-7, 2013 - just in time for the cold winter months. The overall blanket measured approximately 117 ft. x 50 ft. – made up of 300 individual 40 in. x 70 in. blankets made by the generous "blanketeers" that participated in this project.
