That’s a cute idea! It’s a nice thing to do with those baby clothes that you just can’t bear to donate or pass on to someone else.

@Paulette — if those kids don’t get their quilts until college, I bet they’ll still love them. I was jealous of friends of mine who came to college with homemade quilts; I had a cheap bedspread from Wal-Mart.

Thanks, all! It was a good one to let go and cleared out some space on the basement shelves. Yesterday, I gathered up the rest of the clothes and donated them. What seemed like a good idea years ago now seems like a tremendous waste of good clothes. Win win!

This really appeals to the teary-eyed, sentimental side of mine. We have some great sleepers that Iz has grown out of. It breaks my heart to give them away. Maybe I’ll try this!

Ohhh – I really love this idea. My little guy is only 8 months old but this would be a great keepsake to make. Now, I just need to learn to sew . . . learning to sew has been on the the top of my list of projects since before he was born!

This is such a great idea! I have to say your line about “I am years away from getting to do a lot of the projects I set aside material for” really resonated with me and the bins and bins of material I have set aside for various quilts for kids of friends, who just may be in college by the time they get their quilts. Sigh . . .
