Aren’t the dinosaurs cute?
This is an easy quilt to make!
First, cut the panel into 4 pictures of dinosaurs. You will get (6) 13-1/2″ squares. I drew a pencil mark around the 4 squares before cutting just to double check the size.
The Alternate Block
The alternate block is a square-in-a-square block that is also 13-1/2″. (Those are my Ginger Shears above. )
You start with a square block featuring even more wonderful dinosaurs. Those pieced corners aren’t hard. Just sew a triangle on one side of a square, press, and sew on the second triangle.

Make two of these for each block, and sew them on opposite corners of the square-in-a-square center. They will stick out a little, but that’s okay. That excess will be your seam allowance.
Make the other two corners the same way. Square up the block to 13-1/2″, taking care not to cut into the 1/4″ seam allowance.
Making the Rows and the Quilt Top
Sew two rows of panel blocks between pieced blocks, and two rows of of pieced blocks between panel blocks.
Sew the rows to make the top, add the borders, and you are done!
If you would like, you can always make it into a quillow.
