SIZE

The blocks finish at 10" square. The pattern includes detailed instructions for the following sizes. . .

• crib (50" square)
• napping (50" x 60") - this is my favorite size for on the couch
• twin (70" x 90")

DIFFICULTY

Easy! It’s great for beginners, and a fun and relaxing project for more experienced stitchers. If you can use your sewing machine, you have the skills you need to make this cute and cuddly dinosaur quilt.

I used appliqué with fusible adhesive and Quilt As You Go to make a super easy quilt - almost all done on the machine. The pattern also includes links to videos teaching needle turn appliqué and machine appliqué with freezer paper, in case you prefer those methods.

I used fabric from several different bundles for this quilt.

• The background blocks are Blue Batiks and Green Batiks.
• The dinosaurs are made with the Dots fat quarter bundles, with some scraps from the Rainbow Brights and Warm Neutrals tossed in for spikes and frills and many of the landscape elements.
• The sashing and binding is Dinosaur Skeletons. (Sorry - that fabric has been discontinued now and I can't get it any more. You can use any small-scale dinosaur novelty print.)
• The backing is midnight blue cuddle fleece.

See the last photo for another fabric combo with a very different look!
