My son James (6!) is a huge Scooby Doo fan, and last year he asked if I could make him a Scooby Doo quilt. I was sure I could, but where to get fabric? Ebay to the rescue. i was able to buy 3 fat quarter sets of Scooby Doo fabric and from there make a quilt. I started it on the 2013 Quilt Retreat (countdown to 2014 - one week) and finished it up just before Christmas. I'm counting the Scooby Doo quilt as my last finish of 2013. I had finished it, except the hand stitching of the binding which I've been giving to my Grandma so she has projects, and she finished it up just after the first of January. It's not a large quilt, but it's quilted in free motion loops and stars and James sleeps with it every night, which is good enough for me.
I find it difficult sometimes to find quilts that showcase large busy prints to full advantage, but I saw this quilt called Dinosaur Island and thought it might fit the bill. I modified it slightly, but the idea is still the same.
