Winner of the international competition in Quilter's Newsletter to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the magazine's existence, Rita designed the Center Medallion, two splendid horses pulling a carriage with the inscription " Big Parade " and it's surrounding 12 blocks to invite the viewer to a land of imagination and inspiration, the theme of the contest. A parade to celebrate the event - a parade of blocks, set in the fashion of a Baltimore Album quilt, displays symbols of the joyous event: Music for one, symbolized by the harp, sets the tone and the decorated flowers in garlands and cornucopias set the ambiance to praise the occasion.
