Riaan's Quilt
Description:
Riaan's Quilt - second of a series of 4 "landscape" baby quilts
designed to "grow" with the child
the basis for the design is a childhood drawing riaan's mom had done on a postcard she sent me many many years ago
this was very freely interpreted according to materials in my stash and the shops while i was searching
different materials were used to give the baby interesting textures to feel and explore while still quite small
buttons, ribbons and things were used to embellish and add interest for baby and child.
crochet flowers can be added / moved (affixed to the button flowers) when the child is a little older.
again the blanket can be used as background for wooden and other toy animals, cars & whatnot
flowers made of ribbons from riaans' parents' wedding, as well as leather collars with bells (around the sheeps' neck) were added after foto was taken
