About Our Quilts

What are Baby Keepsake Quilts?

Baby Keepsake Quilts are a wonderful way to hang on to the memories embedded in all those adorable clothes from your baby's first 6-12 months. They are also a fantastic way to recycle baby clothes that are either too damaged to consign or sell, or clothes you wish to keep but would likely end up in a box in your basement!

What does the customer need to provide?

You simply give us your washed baby clothes and we design a custom quilt top, cut and piece the top out of your baby clothes (using solid fabric for filler if needed), attach a backing using ties of yarn or thin ribbon, and bind it with a coordinating fabric. The price of the quilt covers all materials other than your clothes.

What kinds of baby clothes can be used?

Onsies, pajamas, shirts, dresses, overalls, robes, caps, sweatshirts, halloween costumes... you name it, I can work it into your quilt. Receiving blankets, other blankets, crib sheets and other baby linens also make great additions to a baby clothes quilt. I've even appliqued little baby socks onto the quilt top, perfect for you to store small stuffed animals!

How many outfits does the customer need to provide?

It depends on the size your order. For our standard throw-sized quilt, about 20-30 pieces of clothing is great. For a twin-sized quilt, 40 pieces work best. We also offer wall hangings of any size, tailored to the number of pieces you can provide. Of course, if your pieces come up just short I will add solid, coordinating fabric to the quilt to fill in the gaps.

How much does it cost?

How long will it take?

April 2008 orders should be ready in 2-3 weeks from the time I receive your clothes. For more detailed information about how long I'm currently estimating my turn around, please email me.
