Glad you brought this subject as I picked up several good ideas.
About a year and a half ago one of my niece in laws told me she'd like to make a quilt from her daugther's first year clothes, daughter was about 6 months old at the time. Asked niece if she knew how to sew or had a sewing machine, said her mother had a machine. Little girl - such a cutie, is over 2 now but no mention of the quilt from niece. From now til the end of the year is a busy time for me but think I'll bring it up when I see the family around Christmas time. Little problem is that neice lives in Brooklyn, NY and I live in Jersey, and neice works full time. If she's really interested in making a quilt we'll find someway to make time for some sewing and quilting instructios and, more importanly, what parts of the clothes she wants to use and what she invisions the quilt to look like.
