susancollins Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I have saved my children's baby clothes to do a quilt for them but have never gotten a chance to get it done. What is the going rate for a crazy quilt design, that is a full or queen size quilt. I might end up doing it my self I just need to get these totes of baby clothes finished. Thanks so much for any suggestions or referrals' any info would be great. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bassoon Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I can't believe you posted this. . . . . I'm about to start the same project. I just made a T-shirt quilt for my Dad (I'll be blogging about it later tonight, I think) and it came out great. I'll be getting together with my friend to work on the baby quilt project. . . . My plan was not to crazy quilt, but to cut the clothes (gasp!) into pieces of cloth, and use them in a pattern, maybe something even as simple as a 9-patch. Does that help? I did see people who were willing to do t-shirt quilts, but I didn't research quilts from baby clothes. . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susancollins Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 Hi, This sounds great do you have any advice for the project, the reason I am going to do it in a crazy quilt pattern because the sections of clothes are from different sizes, and some are bigger than others. Is this your first time doing a quilt from baby clothes. Thanks Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Are you sure you can't save them until your kids are old enough to quilt, and call it a geometry prac? ;) Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bassoon Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Rosie, I like how you think!!! I posted on my blog about how I made my Dad's quilt. Next up, baby clothes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susancollins Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Hi, I wish I could save it but I have taken up two closets that I can't even put my kids shoes in because the totes are stack on top of each other. I like your idea Rosie if I had the space I would really love to do that. :001_smile: Can anyone tell me the best way to get started or what I need to get. I have taken a sewing classes and have sewed a few things. I was thinking of a crazy quilt pattern since the piece would be different sizes. I am going to a quilting store next week, to get supplies.
