I changed the Critters quilt pattern to make "same only different" wall hangings for my twin GDs.

I made the wings free floating to add excitement. And the Christmas I was working on them I went into Joannes and wandered aroung muttering to mysels -- "what does a fiery dragon's breath look like" and "does a unicorn's tale sparkle"

I found perfect ribbons for each. Merlin's robe is blue velvet and his hair is white fur.

Some day if I know a child I think would like dragons, I will make another.

Those are awesome. This "child" would love a dragon quilt LOL. Beautiful work.

Really impressive color choices. The fire-breating dragon looks like a real fire-breathing dragon. Great work.

simply gorgeous - did you create your own fabric too? The twins must have been jumping for joy when they saw these!

The fabrics were batiks that I had -- One girl is teal and the other is purple -- They were 10 back then and now in their 20s and with SOs -- but their dragons are on their bedrooms in their new digs.

I was so touched when I saw their apartments

I love, love, love this. Have you read "The Dragonriders of Pern"? Your GD's might enjoy this book, too, depending on their age.
