sandytn If Wishes Came True Dinosaur Quilt - My friend’s son was 5 when I made this quilt. She was having trouble parting with some of his baby clothes and I told her if she would bring me some of her favorites I would use them to make a memory quilt. Her favorites turned out to be pants – corduroy, jeans, and camouflage. When we were trying to decide on a pattern she told me about him finding a four-leaf clover and wishing dinosaurs would come back to life. The colors were perfect for dinosaurs and I found coloring pages online for patterns (I emailed requesting permissions and they replied they were public domain). I used corduroy for the dinosaurs, jeans for the water features, camouflage for nest, white knit shirt for eggs and clouds. There are baby dinosaurs ‘inside’ the eggs that you can see if you wet the fabric. I wanted the dinosaurs to be the focus so I dyed the sky and grass to get the shades I wanted. I used embroidery to embellish the dinosaurs features. I randomly cut the scraps from the pants to make the border around the blocks. Hand appliquéd and hand quilted. He loved it and so do I.
