Each quilt is a perfect gift in its own right, however, I love the Black, White and Read all over quilt the best. Very creative and fitting for a reporter. Thanks for sharing.

We exchanged presents last night and everyone loved them, but you're right, Snooks, the dog bed was the most gratifying. Charlie got on it as soon as it was out of the bag and didn't get off the entire evening! Sally sent me a picture of him this morning -- he's still on it!

This might be for his June birthday if I can figure out how to do it. Thanks

I would suggest taking the whole page article to a copy max, staples,kinko place and have them either shrink it so you can print on fabric OR they can copy into proper sections which you can them print and piece together to keep size of whole page article and as you said use as center block, which ever way you choose then his work is still intact. If you make it let us know, would love to see it!
