My Fifth Quilt, specially made for my nephew Alex

This is the quilt top that I just finished. The fabric is Moda's Dinosaur Uproar. My sister and her husband got the dinosaur that Costco had just before Christmas for my nephew Alex. I suggested decorating his bedroom in dinosaurs and my sister liked that idea. I got the charm pack squares on ebay a couple of months ago and found a quilt store in Kooskia, Idaho that had more of the dinosaur uproar fabric last week.

The pattern I chose is one that uses the charm pack squares which are pre-cut by the manufacturer, 5 inch squares with one of each fabric in each fabric line. The squares that you see in this quilt were pre-cut, thank you to Moda fabrics! All I had to do was decide which squares I wanted where. I changed this quilt a little in that it is rectangle instead of square.

I do not have the measurements but this quilt will be bigger than crib size but smaller than twin size. I used Soft and Bright batting from The Warm Company.

I took a class and learned how to long arm quilt at Emerald Garden in lewiston. This quilt was the first quilt that I machine quilted. Machine quilted with my beginner rendition of dinosaur eggs! I entered this quilt in the NPC fair 2009 and received a third place ribbon on it for the machine quilting. It was chosen as a judges choice and hung with all the other judge choice quilts. I made and attatched a quilt label and gave it to them December 2009.
