Olive's Quilt

This past spring certainly was baby time.  This made a great opportunity to try some new quilting techniques and blocks. 
One new arrival was little Olive May Rose.

I decided to try the Quick Curve Ruler making a flower design.  After spending numerous months piecing a double wedding ring quilt this ruler made curves a breeze. 

It's always a joke with my quilting friends when I announce that I am making another baby quilt.  My baby quilt size is around 58 by 76.  Baby quilts and blankets I received when my children were born were beautiful, but only lasted a few month and they were outgrown.  My thought is that this child will be able to drag this quilt around until it gets worn out instead of packing it away for who knows what.

As one young mother, who received one of my quilts as a gift, wrote in her thank you card "she`ll be able to use it in college"

So here's little Olive's quilt.  Her brother Gibson, who was born a year earlier will not have to share the quilt I made him.
