Baby Clothes Quilts
Let us take all those favorite baby (or any age) clothing articles and make a cherished baby clothes quilt. Making a quilt out of baby clothes is one of the best ways to keep the clothes your child wore that are too cute to sell and too personal to give to someone else. The baby clothes quilts are machine quilted and have a fleece or flannel backing which makes them soft and cozy warm. For an additional fee, you can upgrade to a bubble fleece backing. Let us know if you would like to incorporate a favorite blanket or any other fabric into the backing of your quilt. If there are stains we can cut around them but please be sure all articles are clean.After you place your order, put the clean baby items in a box to be shipped. Please contact us for an address. Some suggested items we've worked with are:
- baby clothes
- bibs
- hats
- swim suits
- crib sheets
- baby linens
- receiving blankets
- socks
- christening / baptismal outfits
- dresses or suits/tuxes
For a small charge a picture could be added or an appliquéd name. Here are some suggested pictures:
- your child at the age where he/she could wear the clothes
- your child wearing the clothes
- your child at different stages displayed (with clothes and pictures) on the quilt
