For those of you wondering about the super slider, it should be supreme slider. Have a look on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Supreme-Slider-Motion-Machine-Quilting/dp/B007XGITA2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1368165376&sr=8-2&keywords=super+slider+quilting+mat

How soothing! I want to just curl up under it!

The quilting is amazing. I think my favorite aspect of this is the variation of color in the horizontal lines...it's unexpected. Those lines make me think of a musical staff, and the swirls in the quilting seem like they're dancing to the music. :0)

Your quilting is spectacular. How long did it take and did you use a long-arm?

Thanks for the compliment! I followed Weeks' advice to a tee and that was the result. I have an older Bernina sewing machine. The two styles I used on this quilt are relatively quick to achieve, although there are faster designs than pebbles. I always use a super slider now that I've discovered it, so there is absolutely no more tugging on the quilt. Oh yes,I always practise my free motion quilting on small scrappy blocks before moving to the actual quilt.

These colors are very relaxing, I feel like I'm resting under a tree in the shade. I think this is exactly the color combo I'm looking for to incorportate into a quilt. . Your quilting is so uniform also, it's really beautiful.

Thanks for your kind words. It's an unusual color combo but I like it and it reminds me of the bark of the arbutus trees that grow in this area. At certain times of the year, the bark is a greeny yellow with tinges of orange.
