This is the quilt that brought me to this board (seeking help) and I have just finished it! Finally!

This is a quilt made from baby clothes. 95% knits!! All salvaged from play clothes of a my best friend's dear little daughter. And these were clothes that were deemed unfit to hand-down. I cut out the useful stuff from the stained. I wouldn't touch "nice" clothing. I had lots of cute colors and patterns to choose from!

I started collecting the clothes about 2 years ago, cut out pieces for the squares last summer (no regard for seams or anything really). Got serious about putting it together this summer. I had no intention to ever do another quilt, just finish this one. Now I am hooked!!! Can't wait for the next one! I can tell you it won't involve knits or interfacing! Straight 100% cotton sounds divine.

Anyway. I am just beside myself! Here it is. Thanks so much to all who gave advice through the process!

Outside in the bright sun. Colors a little brighter in person.

Wow, that's a great job done! Especially with knits! Any others will seem easy!

Super great job. Using cottons will seem so easy to you now.
Love the reuse of fabric.

Very nice! Can't imagine working with knit... Looks great!

Oh my goodness, it's so adorable! :) I really admire you for working with all those knits! I made a little quilt for my cat out of some old knits and it about drove me insane. This is a real treasure. Can't wait to see what you do next. :)
