My cousin's triplet grandson's are turning 1 and I wanted to make them something special. I had seen these fabric panels about 2 years ago and hoped to have a reason to sew them one day. Well one day came and I found out they'd been discontinued. Luckily I found a few left of these 3 panels on some random site and have had so much fun working on this playmat. I think the 3 boys will have plenty of room to play cars and truck together (it's 60x80). To make it more economical, I backed it with some soft flannel I found at a local fabric store. This was my first time doing my own quilting in a random pattern. I used my walking foot and took my time. I decided to extend the roadway by making gray sections on the black border so their cars can run onto the gray border. Over all it was probably the most fun I've had on a project. I can't wait to give it to the triplets at their party.

Strolling through a little quilt shop in Wichita, KS, I fell in love with a quilt on the wall, so I purchased the pattern. It became a 2 year project, but it is finally finished.
