That is an awesome quilt, Dodge.
Dinos are a popular subject with at least half of every generation. They are interesting in general and appeal to children a lot.

That's beautiful. I bet it took a lot of time.

dodge · « **Reply #7 on:** Oct 28, 2010, 08:37:18 PM »

No I made it in less than a week.
On the machine.. Not hand made.

But I like it .

That is beautiful! I am shocked that you say you do not quilt and yet put out such a stunning piece! Great work!

Well maybe not before this.. but you sure CAN now.

Tina · « **Reply #15 on:** Oct 29, 2010, 12:54:08 PM »

I have seen a couple of your quilts, Dodge. And you may not be using a frame and hand quilting but it is definitely a nice piece of work. Different tools and styles don't make it less of a quilt. Applique is wonderful.

dodge · « **Reply #16 on:** Oct 29, 2010, 02:25:19 PM »

Thanks Tina,

Applique isnt easy also.

They work.. i have last years quilt on my couch right now.. I made lap one . Well used. I like selecting my own styles an colors .

You got a sharp eye.
