Quilts from Baby Clothes
Got Baby Clothes?
Baby's clothes acquire history so quickly: There is the blanket he or she came home from the hospital in, the overalls he or she wore while learning to crawl, the flannel pajamas she fell asleep in at night. For those items too precious to give away, or too stained to pass along, there is a solution more creative and less cluttering than a box in the attic -- a baby memory quilt that is sure to become an heirloom. Baby Quilts, or small square quilts, come in 3 styles: Diagonal, traditional, and modern style. Email MQBM for a custom quote!
Classic Diagonal Style
If the answer is "yes" to the question: "Got baby clothes, blankets, bedding and sleepers?", then why not make a baby memory quilt and preserve those sweet outfits and wonderful baby memories. Baby quilts come in 3 sizes and 3 styles.
This baby quilt and pillow shown here was made out of precious garments saved for 30 years! It was given to the mother-to-be at her baby shower. Kudos to the mom for saving these precious garments. Custom stitching and design makes these two products truly one-of-a-kind.
This sweet baby quilt was made in honor of a great grandmother and given to the great grandchild at a baby shower! What a meaningful gift filled with all of great grandmother's favorite garments. It was backed with a super soft flannel coral colored fabric. Simply gorgeous!

This gorgeous baby quilt shown below was made for a special bride-to-be using her baby dresses! This quilt measure 61" by 61" and consists of 121 blocks! It was backed with the perfect polka dot cotton fabric.
Traditional Style
54 inch by 54 inch, 40 items needed
Traditional style with sashing fabric around each standard 4 or 6 inch square block (picture to the left is a Traditional style)
Baby Quilts take 3-4 times longer to make than a standard t-shirt quilt. Each block is 3-6 inches compared to 12-14 inch blocks. My pricing reflects this. Some items included in the traditional baby quilt shown above:
the kimono that the baby came home from the hospital in
a sweet "dress up" outfit,
a binkie holder with his favorite stuffed bear attached
an infant hat
daddy's favorite outfit
I love mommy shirt
Some items included in the traditional baby quilt shown to the right:
the leopard infant hat poof and all!
4 precious onsies that were embroidered my baby's grandmother!,
a holiday dress
daddy's favorite outfit
I love mommy shirt

A Miracle
This Modern style, twin size baby quilt was made with over 75 baby items, from precious baby blankets to adorable onsies! David was born with significant health issues. Shortly after birth, his parents were told that he would most likely die in 24 hours. David was given to his mother and she held him for 24 hours. In that 24 hours, David started to rebound. Today, he is a healthy young boy running around the house enjoying his Memory Quilt that contains the many garments he wore during that first miraculous year of his life!
