Dinosaurs are such a great theme for your kid’s room. My paper pieced Dinosaur Quilt was so much fun to design.
As I chose the fabrics for my sample, I made a concerted effort to use some complementary colored fabric somewhere in my quilt…
The complements blue and orange worked perfectly in my Spinosaurus. You can see from the photos above how each dinosaur is comprised of 4 paper pieced blocks. In an effort to make this pattern as easy as possible for my customers, I am using a tiny black and white striped fabric for his teeth…because who wants to paper piece all those tiny teeth!
Here is Spinosaurus all connected.
Notice how the Pterodactyl’s teeth are made from a chevron fabric. So easy!
The dinosaur words were added as part of the quilting. I used a satin stitch. This could have also been achieved by machine embroidery.
My good friend Shelley framed the dinosaurs she paper pieced. They are hanging in her brand new grandson’s nursery. And guess what his name is??? REX! Love it 🙂
Visit me at Etsy and Craftsy to see more cute patterns.

OMG another winner. Having an abundance of granddaughters so far I haven’t had anyone in love with dinosaurs… but if the lone boy wants anything with dinosaurs I’m checking out these great patterns… hum, I wonder if I could put one on a sweatshirt???
The guys are all so cute! How clever to use stripes and chevrons for the teeth. Bravo!
If only my son were 8 again – he loved dinosaurs! These are too cute!
Your dinosaurs are adorable. Almost wish I was having a boy grandchild next. Who knows… maybe the one after next.
I just LOVE all your patterns. Wish I had your creativity instilled in me.
So cute! I love the stripe and chevron teeth.
Those are wonderfully goofy looking. So cute!
How cute are those Dinos!!!
These are so cute! If only my son was little again, he would have loved these!!
