What do I do with some bits of dinosaur prints?
I decided to cut them up into squares, pull a few coordinating prints from my stash and grab a couple yards of a background fabric. Then I went to my go-to Wiggle Time pattern to make a small quilt.
For one of the dino prints I only had a few squares, so I just sprinkled them throughout the quilt.
I barely had just enough of the background solid - in fact, I made the top and bottom border a bit smaller than the pattern calls out so that I would have enough fabric.
I found a funky brown print for the backing and finished it off with the perfect striped fabric for the binding. I was pleased to be able to use up these novelty scraps - I am sure someone will love all the fun prints in this quilt.
This is the second stack of novelty scraps I have turned into something useful. It feels good to clean these hard-to-use scraps out of my scrap bins. It will be nice to start out 2021 with my scrap bins purged of "unloved" fabrics.
Enjoy your weekend. Stay well!

that is a nice pattern, kind of wavy I like it
That will be one "loved" quilt! I am amazed at how all those "unloved" fabrics played so well together!
What a cute finish! Your pattern would also lend itself to an “I Spy” quilt, especially if you didn’t have a lot of different novelty fabrics.
How cute! That's the perfect pattern for those prints. Hmmmm, I have some dinosaur fabrics...
That really is the perfect pattern for those fun prints! Cute finish!
Super cute Wiggle Time quilt, Cynthia!!
Wiggle Time is such a great way to use up those smaller chunks. I really like the fabric with the dinos and trees. I'd be sad to use the last of it, but I'm a bit of a novelty nut :)
Très réussi, il plaira à beaucoup de petits garçons
This is so fun! What a great way to use those fun novelty fabrics!
I love this idea for using up bits and pieces of novelty fabric. I keep telling myself I won't start anything new.... but I do have a lot of left over bits of novelty fabric hanging around.
Perfect!! What a great way to showcase those novelties !!!
That was a perfect to use those scraps. I know it will be loved.
