I have begun making this one.
I would imagine it will trail well into the New Year.
I need to buy lots more of the background colour (dark green), or I could make each block an individual block, negating the need for consistency.
I think I’ll make the first block and then decide. Leaning towards consistency at the moment.


The pic is of the ‘fern’ blocks.

I need to make the same three blocks in another five colourways.

That’s a wonderful pattern, but a lot of work. I’d have to do a cushion version,I think! I look forward to seeing it finished.

It looks lovely, but where to begin? It's so complicated.

I've made several Elizabeth Hartman designs ( not dinos ). They are straightforward but very fiddly :rolleyes:
Triumph of hope over experience :D

Wonderful!  I think it definitely looks best with a consistent background - they wouldn't look as though they were all playing together with different backgrounds.
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

That could almost tempt me over to the dark side. Purple and green rights hoarding dinosaurs....

I can already see the left hand strip needs to be turned so the bigger triangles are facing the bigger triangles on the other side.

Moral of this tale - don’t sew when tired.

I’ve done now all the main pieces. Before cutting the sashing/borders I just have to decide if I really want a big quilt or a couple of smaller ones.

Oh wow! I know two little boys who would love that, unfortunately I am no quilter  :laughing:

As it neared the top of the grade, it went more slowly. However, it still kept saying, "I—think—I—can, I—think—I—can." It reached the top by drawing on bravery and then went on down the grade, congratulating itself by saying, "I thought I could,  I thought I could."
