I want to make a quilt out of my daughters baby clothes. like pieces. anyone have a pattern etc?
I had this thought in my head i know its probably not original but if its not that is ok maybe someone can show me how. i want to take pieces of my daughters outgrown baby clothes you know the special things and make a quilt. now i was thinking of a bigger square as the back ground and a smaller square in the middle with the baby material. now i have watched quilting shows and they just usually put sides on the square to make it look like a bigger on the bottom but is it ok to do it the way i said? oh and i have never made a quilt but have watched my mom for years and no i cant ask her for help. Thanks for any help.
that is very sweet!
Ok now what i have done is this:
say you have a dress or socks?
or hats? Now as painful as it is to cut them you have to depending on the size of the block.
say you have a flowered dress? the block has to be a solid color in contrast to set off the dress piece.
applique it to the block
cut the dress in half if you want to save the whole dress just make a quilt with colored blocks and use the front of the dress on the quilt.
then use the back on it too. .
plus a hat & her socks and her baby cloth shoes…
like a image of her [but it is only her clothes. ]
also you can make some nice wall hangings from them little quilts
