When Juliet from a Tartankiwi<\/a> asked for testers for some of her new foundation paper piecing patterns I jumped at the chance. I love the robin I did before Christmas even though he’s still not been turned into something useful. This time I got to try sewing a triceratops, one of my favourite dinosaurs.<\/p>\n

\"Triceratops<\/a><\/p>\n

Being a mostly female household (Charlie the cat doesn’t really count, does he?) I pulled out some fabric in pinks and oranges but changed my mind at the last minute and went for purple Liberty Tana lawn instead. Purple is Little Miss Bossy-Boots favourite colour at the moment and I thought it would be fun with a purple triceratops.<\/p>\n

\"Half<\/a><\/p>\n

This pattern contains a gazillion minute little pieces and the lawn fabric really helped with reducing the bulk. Once I’d finished the head I admit that I did breathe a sigh of relief. I don’t know about you but I stop breathing when I concentrate really hard. The detail is fabulous, though, and I was happy to continue with the legs, giving my triceratops red toe nails\u00a0(don’t look too closely, though, as I managed to forget one).<\/p>\n

\"Triceratops\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wondering about the cellulite? Wonder no more. I was a bit tired at the end and didn’t line up the bottom quite as well as I could have. As this one is for us I didn’t worry too much and left it the way it was. I’m sure she isn’t too bothered about her lumpy bottom.<\/p>\n

\"Triceratops<\/a><\/p>\n

I didn’t want this lovely dinosaur to end up as a WIP (especially as it is on my FAL list<\/a>) and started quilting it straightaway. The bulk of all the seams in the head made it too difficult to quilt so I just did two clouds in the sky and a few plants in the grass. Quilting and piecing was, as always, done with Aurifil 50wt.\u00a0A bit of dotty fabric and, hey presto, we have another cushion for the sofa.<\/p>\n

This pattern hasn’t been released yet but I’ll let you now as soon as it’s in Juliet’s shop.<\/del><\/p>\n
