Now that it is bound, and finished I can share my second finish of the year. 

This was a simple finish using the Pebble Path pattern from Timeless Treasures. I’ve used this pattern three times and this by far is my favorite. I love the balance of color in the squares, and with that color comes a little pop! The dinosaurs are stinking cute and if you look closely, you can see some dino’s in the quilting too.

Check out that triceratops and the brontosaurus designs quilted into this piece. This was quilted by Deanne of Creative Quilting Company in Moseley Virginia.

Check out this cozy flannel I found for the backing. Isn’t it perfect! I love flannel on the back of a quilt!

Because my youngest grandson was so fond of Matchbox cars, I had made this quilt for him using the same pattern.

Again, the pattern was simple, and I thought he would be over the moon with this because of his love for little Matchbox cars. Terry Burris even found a really cool fast cars edge to edge design to finish this piece. 

And look at the stinking cute backing! A warning to all of you quilters out there when handing your piece over to your long armer. Measure twice. The backing that is. You see that red attached to that adorable Vroom Zoom backing – that’s a fix. Terry Burris of Terry Burris Quilting in Merrimack NH. She let me know that I had miss measured my backing, and because this was for one of my grandchildren and not a commission or sale piece, we (she) pieced the back for me with the red so it would be big enough and we wouldn’t have to send it back and forth. Terry shared with me that this happens more often than you would expect. So measure those backs twice to make sure you have enough to cover the front with a few inches to spare. Also, if you prewash your 108″ backings, it is imperative to measure them after laundering, as they do shrink. 

The Pebble Path Pattern is still available through several sites and is beginner friendly and pre-cut friendly using 10″ and 5″ squares. I will be retiring mine for a little while as I need to work on a few other less than simple projects. 

Piece!
