Two Dinosaur Quilts for Aunt Joyce


 
Aunt Joyce is making quilts for her great grandchildren. She has 26 going on 27 of them! I agreed to quilt and bind some of them. 

These 2 quilts were made with a digitally printed panel and wide borders. The panel really pops and the borders coordinate beautifully. The backs she sent were a bit too small, so I’ll use those backs for 2 more quilts.
