Regarding the idea about the Islamic quilt, wouldn't such a quilt be arranged according to the Arabic alphabet rather than the Roman?
Congrats to all on working out the Camel pic and for the rest of the detective work on the quilt. I don't know anything about quitting and am very impressed!
Traditionally in Australia at least, the person who is responsible for the death of a child is that childs parent or carer. In this case, the inclusion of a blanket tends to support that.
I sincerely doubt this is a Missing Persons Case.
Mum knows. Sad but statistically most likely.
I agree, SapphireSteel. Statistics everywhere, not just Australia, overwhelmingly support what you say.
The fact that seemingly the mother has never reported the child missing also suggests she is involved. It's a missing persons case only in the sense that we are looking for a mother who's conspicuous in her absence as far as this recent turn of events goes.
My only slight problem with the idea of the mother being involved is the degree of violence in the death, which is suggestive of a really sadistic killer, and not so much of a mentally-disturbed or post-natally -depressed mother who has killed her child in anger or frustration - an all too common occurrence.
I also have have a feeling, reading between the lines of police reports, that violence occurred after her death as well, although I admit I'm speculating there. If something awful like that happened, that would also be more consistent with someone outside the family and not the mother, as far as I have read.
But that only brings us back to the question of why the disappearance or death have not been reported by the mother, or anyone for else for that matter. It's all very confusing.
There have been plenty of cases where mother's have been the main perpetrators of the most heinous and sadistic behaviour towards their own children ..... so I wouldn't rule that out as being a possibility.
imo, THIS item of clothing is very important.
The brand is unusual, as is the Made In Australia.
They will be traceable in my opinion.

Yes! I totally agree, it would probably be for Hump.
Regarding which way the camel would be facing would all depend on how the rest of the quilt is put together. To make an I-Spy quilt a little trickier you would not make each fabric face the same direction but would purposely put the pieces facing any which way. It makes it more random since they are just floating balls when you hold it out. (O/T - One really cute pattern that I like that is a similar concept looks like little mason jars sitting on a shelf and then you find all kinds of creepy crawlies print fabric and marbled fabric to look like mysterious liquids in the jars. It would be super cute for a baby or toddler quilt!)

Thanks FromGermany great job. It does seem to be a strange combination of clothes assuming all were still there....summer pjs and sleepwear but a winter coat and trackies. Nothing really in between. Disadvantaged? Hurriedly packed? or hand me downs??
Someone said, the Q and U might be like one letter on the quilt, therefore I have lettered in this way. I don't know if police had 100% positively identified the arrangement for the patches? If only partly, then I would say: the "bears" and the "camel" belong to the first row.

I really think this quilt was made by a real quilter with a stash of fabrics. I don't think these are the fabrics you would choose if you went out to deliberately purchase for a single alphabet quilt. They colours don't match, the fabrics appear to be from different eras. This is the result of looking through a collection of fabrics and thinking "ok, what have I got that starts with C". MOO
Idk that it matters but just some thoughts.

Any idea what this is? its patch 3 on the quilt. I originally thought it might be a camel but i'm not sure.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could identify enough fabrics to remake this little quilt. I bet if we canvassed an online quilting group, some people would still have some of these fabrics in their stashes.

this is a bit odd isn't it. A woman found dead in a Holden Captiva in Adelaide on March 15th 2015.
