This quilt is titled Tapestry. I made it for the annual auction held by CHOICE Humanitarian to help raise funds for their projects for the upcoming year.

t-rex stencil quilt
I like to make a quilt for my grandchildren about the age of 5 or 6. I saw this quilt a few years ago, and decided that I had to make it (shamelessly copy). Little boys love dinosaurs!
