The quilt, which was completed in 1984, was designed by Joanne Johnson in a variation of the Baltimore Album quilt style and was aplliquéd and quilted more than 30 Northern Virginia Women. Frances Griffith was the master quilter. The 10-foot-by-12-foot quilt contains 35 15-inch squares, each crafted with 36 quilting stitches per square inch. Quatrefoils separate the images, and a traditional swag-and-tassel border surrounds the entire design. Quilt is installed at the Center for the Arts Concert Hall.

In the first paragraph, which lists the quilters who took part in this project, Carolyn Peterson is identified incorrectly as "Marilyn Peterson".Item The Arts on the Fairfax Campus(2006-09-05T20:14:59Z)George Mason University brochure with list of artworks at the Fairfax Campus; Includes campus map with locations of buildings and artworks.
