It has been a really busy week, but now the dinosaur quilt is finished. I'm not sure how you would describe it geologically! Dinosaurs roam with happy smiles, dolphins splash in the sea, woodland and jungle animals trot through the spaces left....Historians and geologists would struggle to make sense of the time lines, but all I can say is that I design quilts to make children smile and feel happy when they snuggle down under them....so here it is....

It is always nice to see quilts close up,so here are some detail photos:

I wanted to make the quilting in the sky area look like the wind... and dolphins to swim in waves....

The woodland animals tiptoe through grassy quilting in a varigated thread....

The owl flies silently past the moon and in our garden they really do party at night, with lots of squeaks and squawks and hooting!

The printed panel in the centre worked really well. This is the first time I have used a panel and I think the effect is great. I could never have stitched such a perfect circle and wobbly lines would have looked awful!

Next week I am making another quilt with a panel, this time with a fish theme, but added dinosaurs and animals will creep in and maybe a whale or two.....
Happy Easter everyone, I hope you all have lovely celebrations,
Kind regards,
Sue

Good thing you are making it to be loved by a little boy. They don't need time period specific, just adorable and cuddly.
This is such a fun quilt, I love the quilting you added to it.
Thank you Cheryl, it has taken me ages to master FMQ but at last I feel confident. My Bernina machine seems to quilt best with Moon threads, I tried expensive 100% cotton thread and the stitch tension went haywire and I had to undo it all.
Thanks for visiting Jasmine, yes, it's one of the things I love about pictorial quilts, the quirkiness of the sizes and shapes, also the lovely things the children ask for too!
