I am not a fan of pre-printed panels for quilts; but when Natalie started watching Olivia the Pig cartoons, I remembered this panel and coordinating fabric was featured in a quilting magazine a few years ago. A quick search of the internet, and I was able to get what I needed to make this quilt for her.
I used the leftover panel fabric for the binding. There were two squares left, and I used one to make a mug mat. I got my inspiration for the mat from
Angela at Raggedy Owl. This is a new quilt blog that I have been reading, and it has become one of my favorites. Angela's taste in fabrics is totally different than what I buy, but I just love it. Everything she has shown on her block is fun and colorful. I just may be tempted to dive in and try something new!

How cute is this?!! I bet that was fun to make. Great Job!
Too cute!! I'm not familiar with many cartoon characters these days (sadly, no grandkids yet). However, when cruising thru the channels one day I saw Olivia and fell in love. She is so cute! (pssst... I watched almost the entire cartoon that day too.. lol). -Tammy
Oh how cute, I know Natie must love this quilt, and the little mug rug is adorable. I need to get busy with something fabric, I am having symptons of withdrawal, it has been so long ;>)! Have a wonderful rest of the week, sending blessings from my part of PA!
So cote! Olivia has many followers in the cutie pie set. Natalie is gonna love it!
I love this!!!!Low stress -and a granddaughter that will love it--- what more do you need! OK-- close your eyes... think about it...I would have loved my Gramma doing that for me. May not have realized the appreciation until I was in my twenties-- but still....this is pretty awesome.
Hi Mary! Love the blog you mentioned! I just spent the time reading all her posts!. Definitely one that I will go back to!
Oh Mary that quilt is just so wonderful. Natalie is sure to turn flips over it.
Its good to think outside the box every now and then and try something different. Good luck with creating new things.
