I just finished a dinosaur quilt for my 6 year old grandson. I used a print similar to yours to surround white squares that I put matching applique dinosaurs on. I took a picture of my strips, enlarged them and traced a copy on tissue paper to make the patterns for my appliques. Then I accented the squares with things like... off-white lace with a triange edge became the stegosaurus spikes down his back, etc. I'll see if I can figure out how to post a picture of a few of the dinosaurs. I think I have a few mid-way through making it. When my grandson saw the little dinosaurs he decided he wanted a giant T-rex in the middle with a volcano behind it so I made that too. :D
It's so much fun being grandma! :wink:
I ended up using different lace for the teeth so they would be bigger and longer and this was taken prior to the volcano in the background.
