A Dinosaur Quilt

This week I am making a dinosaur quilt for Rowan. His mum has commissioned it and he has sent a list of his favourite dinosaurs to be included. I looked them all up to draw the patterns and my knowledge of dino shapes has been very much expanded! The design will also include lots of jungle animals and some woodland ones too. The central panel print is by Michael Miller. This is in the same design run as the fabric in the centre of the big stars. Below you can see my human quilt stand holding up the quilt top in the garden, well actually you can only see his fingers....

Here are some close up photos of the quilt top. I am waiting for the backing fabric to arrive at the moment.

I love the magic of folkart quilts where houses can be the size of horses and anyway who knows what colour dinosaurs really were?

The surrounding fabric for the central panel is called Jolly Jungle by Makeower....

I can't wait to quilt this top, The colours are so bright and cheerful...

I hope to be able to show you the finished quilt next week if the backing fabric arrives in the post.

That's all I have time for this week, now I have a birthday cake to bake for daughter, bulbs to plant, seedlings to water and so many other things to do too.... all before baby number two arrives and I am required for Granny duty! 

I hope you have a lovely week sewing and designing your quilts,

Kind regards,

Sue
