OK, OK, OK, Here it is..so far(Multi-Texture Blanket - Part 4)

What do you think? This is the multi-texture blanket that I have been working on for a six year old autistic girl. Unfortunately you can't really see the different textures. It sure would be great if you could feel them on your own computer screen, don't ya think?

I'm not totally convinced this is the right lay out. I am hoping that any of you reading this will put in your two bits and help me play around with this so that I can get it just right. I think that the I will do the binding in pink satin, but I haven't yet decided what colour/texture(maybe a simple cotton colour/print) I should do the border. Ideas? Anybody? Help!

Multi-Textured Blanket - Part 2

I've done a little more work on the multi-texture blanket. I got two adorable blocks done tonight. To see the other blocks I've made so far click here. Aren't they cute? I pretty pleased with them. The wings on both of them are free moving. The Butterfly has really crinkly wings and a fleece body. The bee has slightly crisp and shimmery wings and the body is made from faux suede with rickrack stripes. So far so good. Thanks Jaime for the idea of the shiny/slippery/sparkly fabric. I hadn't thought of that, but I know exactly what I want to do with it, I just need to go buy some.
