I am a pretty scrappy quilter. I like using a million patterns and colours. It’s not often I buy a full fabric line but I just couldn’t resist these strange stylized floral dinosaurs.
This one is for me. I think.

And this one has been almost 10 years in the making… My kiddo when small, wanted to wear “stripey shirts like daddy” and had quite a few button downs. This is his wardrobe from birth to 12. I made 6 total quilts from his shirts and handed them out to family for Christmas that year. Except for the one for us. It’s been on the pile… Now it’s Done and it’s pretty sentimental.

I love the floral dinosaurs, but the stripey shirt one has me sobbing. What a lovely keepsake.

The second one is such a sweet memento. The yellow in the first one appeals to me so much. I’d definitely keep it, if I were you.

What an awesome quilt. I love the idea of finding a way to keep your kiddos special clothes for years to come.

The dinos are adorable and I’m glad to hear you’re keeping it for yourself!

The quilt for your kiddo’s shirts is super attractive even without knowing the backstory, but DANG! It’s a true treasure with the backstory! :sob:
