Keepsake for Mom

A little while ago Allison gave me Blake's receiving blankets to make into a quilt.  It is a great keepsake for mom and Blake.


I started with a pile of receiving blankets.


Cut them into 10 Inch Squares.  


I also appliquéd some pieces.


I did horizontal stitching for the quilting

 
On the back I put a Teddy Bear Flannel.

    Kim,

    This is a completely precious keepsake. I would the idea of using Blake's baby blankets to make a quilt. My kids are sentimental and love anything having to do with themselves as babies. This is really sweet.

    I'm visiting from the DIY linky party. I would love if you stopped by my blog.

    Thanks for sharing,
    Laura
