Here’s the first block of the baby quilt made of baby dresses that I’ve been planning for quite a while. Some dresses were mine and some were new, but all are stained or too worn to pass down. The birds were cut off on this block, but it was impossible to cut them another way. The smocking was a little tricky, but I really like it. This is going to be a very fragile quilt. Since I have two girls, I thought I’d just make two quilts now and sew all the blocks — 32 of them I think! We’ll see how it goes.
It is so pretty, I love the pice of smocking, it gives such a sweet little texture. I think it will be gorgeous when it is all done.
How adorable.
So precious! Love the colors and to know they are made of your baby dresses makes it all the more wonderful.
Very sweet, love these soft, soft colors for a baby. I hope you’ll post a photo of the finished quilt.
What a great idea, I have been saving the children’s flannel jammies to make baby quilts for grandbabies, I hope to have someday. I think it would be neat to wrap up a baby ing a quilt made from thier parents jammies when they were growing up!!!
