A Lovely Year of Finishes - January

I hopped on board A Lovely Year of Finishes again this year.  I loved having that extra push to finish up projects.  This month I chose to finish up a triangle dinosaur quilt that I had been putting off forever.  I had the fabrics sitting in a pile since the summer and just never got around it it.  I chopped them up finally at the end of December.

So at the beginning of the month I sat down and finished up this quilt top and even a second top just because... I mean I had the fabrics already and why not make two when it is so easy as this one.  A good back up for anther baby.  (Which has already been claimed)


I quilted this with simple straight lines, just a presser foot width from the seam lines.  It adds such a fun pattern to the quilt.


It is bound with a fun stripe that complements the colors on the front.


I pulled a fun red chevron for the back.


The quilting looks pretty cool on it, too.  it is kinda busy, but that's ok with me.
