Dinosaur Quilt

Dinosaur Quilt

Barb made this great dinosaur quilt for her grandson Spencer.  It has lovely dinosaur fabric and the border has teeth.  I like how Barb kept big pieces of the dinosaur fabric - to show it off, and pieced colour blocks to complement it.  

Dinosaurs Pantograph

Spencer’s quilt was quilted with the Dinosaurs pantograph by Dave Hudson and rainbow variegated thread.

Grandmas hold our tiny hands for just a little while, but our hearts forever.

Dinosaurs first appeared approximately 230 million years ago, and were the dominant terrestrial vertebrates for 135 million years.

 

Chocolate Mile a Minute Blocks

Brown Mile a Minute Blocks

I enjoyed my Friday evening finishing a customer’s quilt on my longarm quilting machine and then sewing my little mile a minute blocks for the first Saturday of brown for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

Pat's Rainbow Mile a Minute Quilt

I wondered about brown (and maybe even black) in the quilts that I will make with my blocks from the Challenge and then my customer Pat who decided to do my Mile a Minute tutorial and follow along (and race ahead) with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge brought me this beautiful Rainbow Mile a Minute quilt to longarm quilt for her.  I love the browns and blacks in it as well as the sashing and borders that she chose.  Pat’s quilt completely opened my mind to new possibilities.  Check out my Mile a Minute - September Discount post to see a close-up of Pat’s quilt and her back art.
