NOOOOOOO!
Frank tells me Friday they were inducing labor. Oh, good, I said, I have the dinosaur quilt already done. It just needs binding. I will send that to the little boy.
Why did I suppose it would be a boy just because I had a definitely boy quilt? Because I have not made a girl quilt, nor did I even ASK what the baby would be. Duh!
So Frank says to me, hey, do you have girly dinos? No, I don't
So this is what I did today. The pattern came from the Quiltmaker magazine March/April 2010 issue. It was very quick and easy, I did all the cutting and pulling of fabrics today even. I had the 2 1/2 inch squares in my Bonnie Hunter box and the 2 1/2 strips in my Bonnie Hunter box as well. Several years ago I decided to cut up my scraps into squares and had a bunch of 5 inch squares that were cut down to 4 1/2 inch squares because, try as I might, I could not find the 4 1/2 inch square bag.
The white is a sheet that was in my stash from somewhere. Maybe from Goodwill or the Purple Cow. In a package so it was clean for the baby.
Tomorrow I will quilt it. For some reason I made 9 of the 9 patches so one will go on the back in some conflagration. I am going to piece the back with scraps of brights.

This is a fun quilt - I like it! I really like the border - I think it might be just the inspiration i am looking for!
