"Quilting" a Story

We'll begin with an idea, and write the first paragraph to get you started; you continue to follow the story anyway you choose, and we'll see how our "story quilt" begins to unfold.  

It's up to you how big our "quilt" becomes, so grab a cup of tea or coffee, wrap yourself in a quilt, and start writing!  Let's weave a story that ties together fellow writers and stitches the passions of our creative souls into a story that warms us all over.

Here's the first "block" of our "quilt"

She took a deep breath as she rolled her eyes and prayed they would be able to take a different route back.  "Who knows what that could have been, or what it would have been used for from that house," she said.
