A Giraffe for Edward

Recently I was partaking in a fun International swap and the person I sent to has a little boy who loves giraffes and was in need of a new blanket.  So here's what I made for him...

 I used a high loft batting for the fill, and yarn tied the quilt together after appliqueing the top of the quilt and putting the layers together.
I used a blue corduroy fabric for the top of the quilt and an animal print cotton for the back.
The giraffe is made from flannel, and the rest of the appliqued pieces are cotton.

There is no pattern for this.  It is a one and only Gina's Custom Creations original.
However, I did use a pattern to make the giraffe silhouette.
Giraffe silhouette pattern is from the quilt pattern:
"Central Park" by Kate Spain / Moda
