Jurassic Park came back from the quilters right before Thanksgiving. The timing was perfect. Crispy took this back to school with him. He didn't want to do this....
(taking a picture of him wrapped in it, but I endured all the complaining and got a picture to show how big it is)
All he wanted to do was this....
Hold it up to get a good shot of the whole thing. I thought I was being generous. He could have been hauling the ladder out of the shed and helping me pin it on to the wire on the other shed.
But it was cold and I didn't want to be outside any longer than I had to.
For the longest time, Jacob (Crispy's friend) has been bugging me to make a Jaws quilt. I never got around to it. But, I saw him right before Thanksgiving.
The first thing he said was, "Did you get a Jaws quilt done?"
No.
The long weekend gave me time to think and dig and plan.
I found this fabric with hot babes on it. Yes! Every college boy wants hot babes.
He also wanted a sailboat and a shark.
This is what I came up with.....
He was more than willing to get a picture. I thought the shark was ugly. But he said that is what made him so awesome. So this went back to college with him.
The sailboat construction is based on this adorable quilt!
Jacob wanted the words, "we're gonna need a bigger boat!" they are stamped on with red craft paint using foam letters.

Beautiful quilts! I think Jurrasic Park could win some kind of award it's so awesome. :)
Awesome quilts, both of them. I was happy to see you stamped the red letters on the little quilt, because otherwise I would have said you were sixteen kinds of crazy to make free pieced letters so small!!!
And I would have wanted to know how you did them!

Both great quilts! I love the shark!!! They aren't supposed to be "cute!"
Both quilts are so cool. Your humor is wonderful.
I never get tired of seeing Jurrasic Park, fantastic quilt. Jacob looks for happy with his wonderful quilt, hot babes and sharks ...LOL; brings a big smile to my face. You have a great sense of humor.
fabulous! they're both great quilts.
love 'em!!!!
Both boys are just too darn cute holding up their new 'prizes'!!! That Jurassic Park is awesome and the other guys at college will be soooo jealous!!! They'll also be wanting a wall hanging of their own 'hot babes' and a sailboat!!!
You ROCK!!!
You are so creative!! I love what you do with words and quilts and EVERYTHING. Can I say I'm jealous?
OMG, once again you amaze me with your awesome quilt ideas and skillz! I love both quilts! These are both just so fun! I'm glad to hear you stamped the words (that classic phrase!) on the shark quilt. I wondered how you did them. I like your fill-in pieces on J.P., aside from all the wonderfulness! Super job on both of them!!
These are wonderful, both big and small. The hot babes fabric is hilarious, isn't it? I have a bunch of it I often make fabric postcards out of. They go like hotcakes!
Crisp and Jacob are happy college boys and I can see the pride in ownership. Well-deserved praise for you!
ok this is just hysterical! I am so glad he loved it! how could he not!
great words!
