Traveller families from all over Northern Ireland took part in making the quilt as part of the Toybox project, which works in partnership with Traveller communities.
The quilt will now be displayed across the country to reflect the voices and values of individual parents and families registered on the project.
Unveiled by Early Years on Human Rights Day on 10 December, the charity hopes the quilt will be a reminder of the human rights of every child under the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child.
Toybox is an outreach play-based early intervention service, which works to reduce the social and education inequalities experienced by young Traveller children aged up to four years.
