I made this quilt for my cousin's baby in Croatia. Last October Danijela and her husband Jakov had their 1st baby, Matea. I kept meaning to make something to send to her. They didn't need anything conventional for the baby, so I made a quilt out of my old jeans, a salvaged hippie dress (the peacock) and some soft cream wool I had many meters of. The baby blanket that resulted is definitely not perfect in shape, but I liked it so much I was tempted to keep it.
While I am living in the foothills, I intend to learn some traditional skills from the ladies who do quilt in this area. This is something rural women do quite impressively here in Alberta.I know I have enough visual ideas, I just need to learn some tricks of the trade to do it properly.
