I don’t remember the name of the pattern or what magazine published it, but I remember who won the quilt.  Tom Carman was a co-worker who every year donated $100 to our team Fire Walkers.

Tom knew his fire prevention.  He also took in a cat that had it tail severed in an accident.  Unfortunately, Tom left us a few years later.  When I see this pictures of this quilt, I am reminded of how he always brought me a funny magnet, told his horrible jokes and his friendship. I miss you Tom.
