I made a big baby quilt once. The mother told me she didn't know what to do with it at first. She found it great to put over his carrier out of doors. As he grew it tucked him into his crib and when he was in third grade he was using it as a lap robe on cold mornings in the car. Thankfully I hadn't used real baby fabric but children sledding and other play type prints. They are pretty handy.
