River Run: Taking a Dip Pattern

Approx. 16.5" x 27" Finished Size

River Run: Taking a Dip uses batiks from my 2020 River Run Signature Batik Collection with Hoffman California Fabrics. This pattern can be made as an individual pattern as shown above, or combined with the other five River Run patterns to make the complete quilt as shown below. See all my River Run batiks here.

One of my favorite themes - babies on their mama's backs, the first of two designs in this quilt using this theme. My little Eva Rose was always climbing on my back at any chance she could get, so they are inspired by her. These little ducklings are having a blast playing on the lily pads and the water while their mama watches - one of them enjoying a quiet ride on her back while she watches the dragonflies flying overhead.

River Run: 6-Block Complete Quilt

River Run 6-Block Complete Quilt

The River Run design was inspired by life along the Kenai River in Southcentral Alaska. The Kenai and its tributaries flow through, and begin, in the many large lakes that support an abundance of life. From mallards and rainbow trout in the Kenai and Skilak Lakes, to the moose that drink from the freshwater, to the bears and eagles that feed off the many salmon varieties that swim up the river, River Run celebrates the wildlife the river supports.
