Dinosaur Quilt

So with Kayden switching to a day bed, he's outgrown the baby animal theme. So he has a height chart that has dinosaurs on it, and I thought it would make the perfect theme for his new big boy room. The colors are very boyish, and he loves the dinosaurs.

The height chart

So I got the crazy idea of making a quilt.....I've never made a quilt in my entire life, this should be interesting. I sketched it out, decided how big I wanted it, made 15 trips to hobby lobby for fabric, thread, buttons, etc., purchased a sewing machine and was super gung-ho to finish this project. I was determined to make this work! Come to find out quilting is much harder than I ever imagined and Brett actually knew more quilting terms than I did!!!

Step one....piece it all together.... looks good so far

Then I added color onto the dinosaurs....

Then after several stitches and un-stitching, screaming fits, the bobbin running out of thread, the quilt actually came together. This is what it looks like before the final border....

THE FINISHED PRODUCT!!!

Whew! It finally came together and I think it looks great! Its super warm, perfect size for Kayden's bed and he loves the dinosaurs. He like to play with the buttons on it.

So glad its done! I don't think I'll make another one for a long time!
