Pave the Way


Shop owner Karen L. Gray designed Pave the Way for Quilt Sampler® Spring/Summer 2011 magazine.

Machine-Quilting Details


Machine-quilter Gina Allen created an all-over stipple design across Pave the Way.

Pave the Way Color Option


Instead of creating the floating effect of the original, quilt tester Laura Boehnke framed each vertical row with brown print sashing and borders. Light pink squares allow the playful novelty prints to pop on this quilt, which is perfect for a preteen. Fabrics are from the Feeling Groovy collection for Riley Blake Designs.
