Jake's Reversible Dinosaur/Tractor Quilt

I finished a quilt just in time for Jake, my grandson's, 4th birthday. Its a reversible dinosaur/tractor quilt.  He loves dinosaurs the most, but I thought he'd like both.  The center main fabrics are all one piece.  I added the borders so there would be enough width for a twin size bed.

The tractor side:


The dinosaur side:


I was almost afraid the dinosaurs on this fabric would be a too scary for him, but he wasn't afraid one bit.


His daddy has a John Deere tractor, so the tractor side is appreciated too.


The green and blue borders are 5 inches and the yellow border is 2 inches.   All of the border fabrics and the binding fabric were already in my stash.




This picture is blurry, but here is a matching pillowcase that I made.


It was an easy quilt to make, but at least I finished one quilt this summer!

That quilt is really cute. The idea of making it reversible is great. I'm sure Jake will enjoy it for years.

I was thinking if I didn't plan so many quilts in my head and would actually make even just one quilt a year, I could have had so many quilts by now. ha ha I have finally gotten "over" the feeling of needing to make one just like everyone else is making, and concentrating on what "I" want to do.
