Continuing to take advantage of the burst of energy I’ve had lately, I pulled out the basted quilt that Layla made, and decided she needed it to be finished before her brother arrives. I really didn’t know what to do, so I just went with a criss-cross design and sewed away. Not much thinking, and...

Welcome to Olivia Jane Handcrafted! I'm Meredith and this is my creative journal. Here you'll find loads of inspiration for a handmade wardrobe, home decor, bags, and quilts. I even have plenty of projects and tutorials to get you started or help you along the way.

Ocassionally I will use flannel for the back. But I really haven’t finished enough quilts/blankets to have a solid choice.
gorgeous quilt for a gorgeous babe!
he’s such a sweetie!!
