Rawr Means Happy Holidays in Dinosaur

Generally, this isn't the time
of year when our thoughts go
to dinosaurs. 

But if you're a 5 year old
and a 2 1/2 year old boy

you're searching for them constantly.
Maybe,  just maybe, you'll spot one.

We were lucky.

Not a dino, but a mastodon
with a dinosaur quilt!
What a lucky sighting.

The boys were hoping
this big guy would be friendly and 
be willing to part with his quilts,
just for them.
 
 Funny, this mastodon's Nana
uses the same pattern that this Nana
uses for her quick and easy kiddos quilt.

And she even made them extra long.
Of course, her little mastodon would 
need that to keep his toes covered.

How perfect.
Dino-mite!

Every quilter must love using a 
striped fabric for the binding.

And look, even dinosaurs quilted in the corners.
 
I guess it just goes to prove
that dinosaurs are popular 
no matter the time of the year
and with those big and small.
 
"Fa, Rawr, rawr, rawr, rawr"
 
Until Next Time-

  3. I can't think of a little boy alive who wouldn't love this quilt! Stripes, plaids and dots make the best bindings, especially for little people's quilts. Good job Nana!
