Description:
Artist Statement: "It's hard to find fabrics for boys, so we have new dinosaur fabrics." "You must have songs, wearing a dinosaur skirt like that!" "I'll just tell her that dinosaurs are for boys." These sorts of comments finally boiled over into this quilt. Paper pieced dinosaurs and letters were combined with improv piecing. I tried to choose "girly" fabrics, colors, and other elements to contrast with the perceived masculinity of the T. Rexes.
