dinosaur fun with color
My daughter in law asked me to make a quilt for Alden. He is 2 and 1/2 and loves dinosaurs so I found some dinosaur fabric in my pile of fabric. I did not want to do the usual blocks so I cut each one out with some of the background color and started adding strips of colorful fabrics that brought out the color in the dinosaur. I cut the strips different widths to keep it interesting. Here is what I came out with. Each block will be 15 inches square and I plan to sash them with that dark blue. Each dinosaur is different and the strips will be attached in random colors to make sure each block is unique!

What a fun quilt!
What a terrific idea! Way easier than fussy cutting. I'm going to save this in my idea binder.
Alden will love it!
thanks for the nice comments I will post a photo when I finish it. My other daughter in law wants me to make a quilt for Reed using sports as a theme! that should be interesting. I will post photos when I start that one. I no longer look in quilting books for ideas I let the fabric lead me...
I love this site. I have learned so much and I have gotten some great ideas from all of you!
Can you believe it is already the end of January 2011..where did the years go! I am getting old too fast.
hi! I wonder if Alden will share?
