Quilt Patchwork Patterns
Does anyone know where I can download a pattern for Dora the Explorer quilt?
My kids stepssister has a 3 year old who wants a Dora the Explorer blanket for Christmas, and she really can't afford one. So we thought we'd make her a quilt. (the first we being my kids, the second being me!) They are going through a really tough time right now, with her husband being injured, and her just having another baby they really can't afford any Christmas this year. Some: I would if I could find a pattern!

- Well...Good idea. make it up without any further thought.
- go to eBay.com
- You might have trouble finding a pattern specifically for a Dora the Explorer quilt. Instead, try making a traditional quilt using Dora fabrics. I know there's cotton fabric available (see eBay link for a bunch). Use the fabric in the center of larger blocks and in the border, as the example in the second link. This is a fairly simple quilt, made from three blocks - Sawtooth Star, Nine Patch, and Rail Fence (links below). You could also try making an applique quilt by taking a picture of Dora and blowing it up on a copier, then using it to make applique templates.
