They supplied this photo of the rug that is in the baby's room, apparently both parents are fox fans.
Using the color family as a starting point, I gathered fabric...lots from my stash too.
They wanted the quilt to be a 'user', one that the baby would lug around, one that would be utilitarian and textural, and big enough to find it's place in the child's room for many years. With that in mind, the solid red and light blue fabrics are flannel as is the binding. The white on the fox's ears and tail is silky. The rest of the fabrics are cotton...as is the rick-rack that found it's way into most of the circles.
Commissions that encourage collaboration with the buyer do take a lot more time and energy to complete. BUT, oh, so satisfying....for us all.
