  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  I made this up from a pack of Natural History Museum fat quarters  - I think I bought them at John Lewis in Oxford - and some blue bubble fleece (don’t know it’s proper name).

Kept me busy for a couple of days.

It’s not for Project Linus, no.

It’s for my daughter.

I’m thinking it might need more tying designs. I’ve done all the junctions, so should be sufficient, but I’ve got a feeling I might need something small and central on all the squares as well.

I don’t want to, but I also don’t want it falling apart.

My granddaughter would adore that !  :D I call that stuff ‘ dimple cuddle fleece ‘ .  It’s lovely for making soft cosy quilts.

Oh that's lovely, and I love the backing....nice and snuggly! <3  I agree with you, I think it would benefit from some more quilting in the central areas of the blocks...juat similar motifs to what you have already done would look terrific.

That is gorgeous @fajita I have a little nephew in France who is seriously into dinosars.  I made placemats for him and his brother using NHM fat quarters but they were different.  I like yours a lot  :loveit:
