This a new Dinosaurs twin size quilt pattern is made with 6 individual Dinosaurs; Triceratops, Brontosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Stegosaurus, Pterodactyl, and Tyrannosaurus rex each 24x28 inches with a simple sashing to make a twin size quilt. The perfect quilt for any little boy who like mine can name all the different kinds of dinosaurs. These are a few of his favorites.
If you are looking for something a little different many of these are available in a single pattern in my traditional crib and lap sizes.
This pattern is for advanced beginners. You should have some sewing experience. If you can use a rotary cutter, and sew a straight 1/4 inch seam you can put this quilt together.
The process looks something like this:
Step 1: The pattern uses charts to explain how many strips to cut in each color for all 6 dinosaurs. I suggest using a rotary cutter and mat.
Step 2: A set of charts for each vehicle, giving piece lengths that will be alphabetically labeled and set aside. These pieces will be cross cut from the strips from step 1.
Step 3: Sew the dinosaur together row by row following a large color picture that show each piece with its letter designation.
The shaping of the dinosaurs is done with 2 to 3 sizes of half square triangles. They are cut as squares in the step 2, then marked with a sew line corner to corner to be placed on top of a larger piece or square of the same size. Then sewn, trimmed, and flipped. See youtube videos for further explanation, search Counted Quilts.
The individual dinosaurs are 24x28 so you could use each one as the center for a Baby Quilt pattern, or a combination of any two for a fun lap quilt or Toddler bed.
