The baby girl clothes quilt is a consignment quilt. People send me a box of their childs outgrown baby clothes, bibs and sometimes soft toys and I put it together in my own way. Often they specify what part or aspect they would ike to see incorperated into the quilt. Each quilt is unique and is made of the clothes the child has used. I strive to put pockets, ruffles on etc. I leave the pockets open so the child can put little treasures in it. I find this type of quilt challenging though but for this quilt and one I made for the brother, the mother send me pictures of the child wrapped in the quilt. Those pictures are priceless. I know the quilts are in good homes and that is what motivates me.
