I have a hard time with these perfectly-coordinated, overly-picky brides & moms-to-be today ...
I have a niece-in-law who absolutely refused a baby quilt because she said she knew people made those quilts out of USED clothing and she didn't want her new baby to sleep on or with anything like that. She wanted her baby to have only brand new stuff. She actually TOLD me that. I was so shocked that I didn't know what to say. My DH just got me away from her real fast. 8-)
Wouldn't you just like to slap people like that. I used DSIL navy cotton work shirts for pieces to a quilt I was making. Those pieces will probably last longer than any other pieces. Wait till the 2nd kid & she will change her mind big time & get that snobby nose out of the air.
