I like the coloring and dof selected on this shot. It feels like it should be rotated a touch to the right because it feels like she (?) is on her head.
Great portrait. The colors seem a little strange and most of your texture is out of focus, but I still like this shot. Just not so much as a 'Texture' challenge entry.
This is a very cool portrait! I love the tones here. Is this a duo tone or tri or quad? If so, I would love the recipe! Focus is spot on for a portrait. Unfortunately for this challenge (textures) the theme has been de-emphasized here. A deeper DOF would help in this regard. Overall a great shot that I'm sure will not score as well as it would in another challenge...

This picture really drags you in and won't let go. The contrast of the blanket to the smooth face is good and the eyes have highlights that really lift them and grab the attention. The fuzzy bit at the bottom of the picture really gives a depth to the image. This is one of my top 5 favourites in this challenge.
Good mood - great use of muted colour, and you've captured a wistful moment well, and the catch-light in the eyes really lends some life to what might have been a rather drear scene without it. I do find the out-of-focus foreground area to be distracting - mainly because it seems to loom up into the image, rather than being a function of distance - don't get much sense of teh blanket receding into focus, if you follow me. texture? Good smoothness of skin, and a sense of softness and not or wiriness in the blanket. Borderline twee for me - I find that with a lot of child portraits, but excellently done.

+ Interesting pose and a lovely contrast between the fur of the blanket and the smooth skin of your subject. I like the colours as well.
- Can't really think of any.
Jusging by your title, the main subject in your image is (or shuld be) the blanket. However her lovely emotive eyes have become the focus of this composition and there is not much texture flowing from there. Good luck.
Based on your title, i was expecting to see texture from your daughter's blanket. It would have been better if you had her oof and focused on the blanket instead.
