Adam's Dino Quilt

My cousin Jodi and her husband Ryan are adopting a baby boy! So I made them a quilt, of course. My favorite quilt shop had recently received a new line of fabric featuring dinosaurs which would be perfect. (I didn't know their theme was Noah's Ark/safari at the time, but I'm sure there were dinosaurs on Noah's Ark....right?).

I chose to quilt it with an overall stipple meander. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, especially as this meander has always seemed a bit daunting to me. Here are a few close ups of the quilting:







One of the neatest things about this dinosaur fabric is that it glows in the dark! If you turn out all the lights and angle your screen just right, you may be able to see it glowing in this next picture, although it was difficult to capture.
