Embark on a prehistoric patchwork adventure with the Dinosaurs Sampler Quilt Pattern by renowned modern designer Elizabeth Hartman. Featuring beloved prehistoric favorites—including Brachiosaurus, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus, and Triceratops nestled amongst leafy botanical foliage—this playful, fat-quarter-friendly design brings extinct giants to life in modern technicolor.
Like all of Elizabeth Hartman's signature patterns, Dinosaurs is pieced entirely using standard conventional rotary cutting and machine piecing techniques—no paper piecing, templates, or curved seams required! With detailed step-by-step assembly diagrams, comprehensive cutting charts, and full color-mapping guides, building your own dinosaur sampler is structured, accurate, and fun.

Why We Love It
Arranging the dinosaurs in monochromatic rows creates a dazzling ombre or rainbow gradient across the quilt top! The mix of wovens, ginghams, small-scale prints, and solid blenders gives each prehistoric creature lifelike texture without overpowering the patchwork silhouettes.
