Quilt Update!!!

We have pretty much finished collecting quilt squares for Olivia's quilt (if you still want in, you have about 2 weeks before the sewing actually commences). The final number is around 160 squares. I have to re-count to be sure...but that should be really close.

This past Sunday I met with a lovely woman named Alice. She and her quilting guild friends have offered to make the quilts for Olivia.

You may be wondering why I said "quilts" rather than "quilt"...well we have decided to have two identical quilts made. One for Olivia to use, and the other for her to save.

Each square will be cut in half, diagonally to make two triagles. One triangle will go into each quilt.

All we have to do now is pick out the backing material, drop off all the fabric and Alice will get started.

This also means I need to get moving on the book that will house the small piece of fabric and the wish. Hopefully work will begin on that this weekend.

Thank you again to all our friends, family, and internet friends who have contributed to Olivia's quilt. I know it is going to be beautiful and something she cherishes for her whole life!!!

We are blessed to have each and every one of you in our lives.

Love,
Paul and Heather
