The quilt squares are made out of Olive's old receiving blankets, the white material on the back of the quilt is my baby blanket, the owls eyes are an old pillow case and the thread is my great grandmother's. It is over 50 years old (which made it challenging) She gave me her sewing kit a couple of years ago before she passed and I have been hesitant to use anything in it, but when I decided to make Olive a quilt I new I had to put a piece of her great great grandmother in it. So now she will always be watching over my little Olive.
More project pictures to come. Next I am making our Christmas stockings and a 'sock elephant' for little miss O.
