 | 1985 - Ben
The very first blanket! Gill had this ready for Ben the day he was born in February 1985. |
|  | 1988 - Emma
By 1988, Gill had the idea of getting the whole family involved in the project. Relations near and far created squares for the blanket, resulting in a monster! Emma still uses it today. |
|
|
 | 1998 - Lauren
Emma (see 1988!) is pictured holding the blanket made for her cousin Lauren born 10 years later. Emma helped make the blanket by knitting one of the squares. |
|  | 2003 - Joel
Pat holds the blanket created for her second grandchild Joel in 2003. Christine thought of adding the border around the blanket, which finishes it off nicely. |

 | 2004 - Grace
By the birth of Pat's third grandchild, family members knew what they had to do - and it was a pleasure to do it. |

When Max was very young, he went on a camping trip. The blanket was very welcome! |

 | 2007 - Maddie
Max's sister Maddie had this very colourful blanket made for her. Cats and dogs are a popular subject! |

When Gill was developing the books, her friend Hayley - and her family - acted as guinea pigs to make a blanket for her new niece Ella. |
