"Pathways" was made by Mary Kerr using vintage blocks and fragments from the 1900s and quilted by Dusty Farrell.

Dusty Farrell, who quilted Pathways and many other projects for Mary, teases Mary that she doesn't like him because she only gives him pink quilts to work on. So Pathways features a little touch of pink to continue the tradition and joke. When Mary finished the top for Pathways, she contacted Dusty about quilting it and voiced her concern that the vintage blocks and fragments from the 1900s that she used to create it were very fragile and might not withstand quilting. Dusty reassured her that he would put enough quilting on it that it would never fall apart.
