I've chosen this quilt to be part of the virtual festival for several reasons: it started without a plan, but evolved as I made blocks; it's an example of liberated quilting; it was influenced by other bloggers and on-line sources (Gwen Marston's wacky baskets and Tonya's free-pieced letters as well as the piano key border I've seen on various blogs); it uses a combination of yardage and scraps (that b/w check on the handles and borders was a pass-along fabric and many of the reds came from the scrap basket); and it makes me smile. And it invokes my career as a newspaper journalist. Thanks for visiting.

I must have looked at this quilt before somewhere. It is fantastic.
Wonderful quilt! I love the way you took all those ideas from other quilters and made it into a fantastic quilt of your own!
Hi Brenda, just popping in to say hello and tell you I've always loved your red, black and white virtual quilt show choice. It's quite amazing how clueless so many quilters are about working with scraps. You do it wonderfully! Hugs, Finn
