Dinosaurs for Thomas

OK , my new nephew was born while we were in Disney World. Now he needs a quilt. I was waiting til he was born, because if he were a she, I was going to do something pink. Well he was a he, so I decided on Dinos! I found this cute pattern in a Quiltmaker magazine, I think from '03. Here is the main part of it. The feet are dimensional. I have to applique the heads on now. I am still deciding on what to do for borders. The pattern has it being this big and then put prairie points around the edge, which is cute. But this is too small the way it is. So I am thinking a border of the background so the main part floats a bit and then something with the colors that are in the dinos. Not sure if I will just do a strip or something more complicated. Seeing that the baptism is next weekend and I start working on Monday, it won't be too complicated whatever it is, because I still have to quilt it! I am hoping to finish the top today and quilt tomorrow-wish me luck!

ADD?

Here are pictures of three new projects. I can't seem to stay with any particular one for too long. I did a few of the "wonder cut ruler" blocks (first picture)and new purple string quilt blocks last night. Today I worked more on letter blocks. They are a lot of fun, but it seems like I have been doing them all day and I dont have that many done. I guess because I kept starting over. I'd like to do a whole quilt with these letters (and more). I have so many UFO"s I am not sure where to start. I keep getting side tracked. Oh well the 5 that I have finished this year are still a record and I wouldnt have had those done without the encouragement from the Stashbusters group. I just need to keep plugging along.
