I only made a pillowcase because I'd just finished a dino quilt out of another fabric and thought a second one so soon would be overkill. However, with these dino-loving boys, I'm beginning to think there's no such thing as too much or too many dino-related items. Know your guy will love his quilt.
I think you're absolutely right on all counts. :thumbup: I can tell you from my own son's love of dinosaurs that began over 30 years ago, it usually isn't a passing fancy. LOL I'm pretty sure this quilt will be something he'll love for a while. :D
