I need to know of a pattern to make a qult out of baby clothes and small children's. They are my grandsons clothes and my daughter wants a wall hanging made out of them. Cotton and knit fabrics. Appreciate any help.

My DIL made a Sun Bonnet Sue and Fisherman Fred out of her siblings clothes for the Mother. It was so cute.

I made a Harley Davidson quilt for my son using all his T-shirts, his wife's T's, my granddaughter's T's and little Harley pocketbook...etc..
and filled in with pictures that I downloaded.
I realize that baby clothes are so much cuter and softer but the idea would be the same.
For smaller things, I appliqued them on blocks to fit the area. I used all that I could get my hands on to fill in.
I got the pattern from "TOO COOL T-shirt" book by Andrea T. Funk.

Attached is a picture of my quilt, you must have a good imagination to replace the Harley shirts with you grandbaby's things but the idea is there.

Good luck.....MJ in NJ
