Tracks

My neighbors who have been helping me with the basement-flood-preventing landscaping in my backyard (with appropriate distancing) have three grandsons. When I found out one of the kids likes oceans and sealife, I knew I had a quilt in the making in my stash. His birthday was coming up, so I literally threw together a quilt in one weekend and presented it to my neighbors just a few days late. He LOVED it!

The two remaining kids said they'd like dinosaurs on their quilts, and once again, I was in luck because I have plenty of dinosaur fabric in my stash.

I had just enough Fossil Rim squares left to fashion one more quilt top. There weren't enough blocks (or other dinosaur fabrics) for a back, and I wanted the quilt to be two-sided. So I bit the bullet and ordered a panel. I was thrilled with how quickly it arrived, given the current world situation, but I was not too happy about how crooked it was cut. I nearly lost the apatosaurus on the right side of the panel due to the sloppy cut. That part of the seam is extremely thin!


This one was finished up in just a couple of days, nearly two weeks in advance of the birthday. Making the 2.5-inch checkerboard borders for the back took the most time, but this turned out so cute, the borders were totally worth the extra effort.
