Ohhhhhhhhh.... look at the little sweeties!!

OK, am I totally nuts for considering turning the \"After Quilt\" that I have been making for the dinosaur quilt into a quilt top instead? Keepsake Quilting had some camouflage print 3-yard 108 wide fabric on clearance for $24 and then had a promo for 30% off of clearance!!! So I could back this for just $16. I want to make some quilts for the homeless shelter for teens. I want the quilts to be dark enough to not easily show dirt. I LIKE bright colors and prints but I am afraid that some teens might shy away from my design as too juvenile. My guys have never minded juvenile prints. It is not quite big enough, it will have more areas of solid black above and below the current strips of print. The black/gray fabric is not nearly as \"patterned\" in person, it looks black/black, not gray.

NEED YOUR OPINION!!! Finish it and use as the backing of the original dinosaur quilt, or use it as it\'s own top of new quilt??
