    Well, the ones they've outgrown anyway lol. I wanted to start my first quilt but was scared to death to buy material and then mess it up so I decided I would start with a scrappy lap quilt made out of my DDs old clothes. I have all the blocks made and I'm starting to put them together. I'm excited that it is actually working! Lol. I'm having a little bit of trouble with some of the material stretching when I sew it but other than that I'm having a great time putting it together. Now if I can figure out how to add a picture...

    Wow! Those pics are huge and I can't change them, sorry. The colors are really washed out too. The squares are all pinks, purples, blues etc and pretty bright. Hmm..

    Once you finish the quilt your DDs will love looking at it and remembering each piece of clothing. Great idea.
