I accidentally deleted most of the photos of these quilts before blogging them. But I DID find these few photos from facebook and flickr!
I really really enjoy making these quilts out of baby clothes. Like T-shirt quilts, they are similar to putting together a jigsaw puzzle. I lay out all the pieces on the floor, fuse the pieces, cut, and then fill in the gaps with alternating colors from the clothes. This is the 3rd and 4th quilt I have made using baby clothes. For these, I tried using more of the details from the clothing. You can see in the closeups that I kept some of the stuffed toys in tact. I also tried to keep embroidered details, buttons, pockets, etc., - It's much more difficult doing it this way and most of the stuff has to be done by hand. But I DO think it's worth it in the end.
I can use onesies, bibs, shirts, pants, jerseys soft hats, blankets and small stuffed toys. And don't worry about holes or stains because before anything goes into the quilt, it's backed with stabilizer, and the finished quilt is quilted thoroughly so stains are hidden (or cut around.)

Update
Hello people of blog land. To my few but faithful followers I just wanted to pop in to say hello. I believe today I can say I am fully recovered from the flu. I was so sick all last week, I couldn't even quilt! Yes, usually no matter how sick I am I can still muster up the strength to do something quilt-related. I guess I did read a lot of quilt-y material ie forums, blogs, yahoo lists etc.
My PRE-Christmas TO-DO list: (with now even less time to spare after the wasted sick week)
1) Megan's Quilt - a commissioned project (shh no telling till it's complete ; )
2) Grey Study Quilt #2 - Finish FMQing, Bind, Wash, and Label
3) Grey Study Quilt #3 - Baste, Quilt, Bind, Wash, and Label
4) Grey Study Quilt #1 - Wash, and Label
5) Harmony Quilt - Backing, Batting, Sandwich, Quilt, Bind, Wash, Label
6) Country Christmas - (fatcatpatterns.com/Christmas Row-by-Row quilt) Decorate, Hanging Sleeve, and Label.
Well, that's it! and about what.. 12 days to get'r'done? geezer.
I have no quilt photos to update you with, so I"ll leave ya with this. (I'm a visual person.. I also like lots of parenthesis lol)

... Remember Jaime's Quilt? Well the lil dear went and sent me a thank-you gift. I got it in the mail a couple days ago. and boy did it lift my sickly spirits! 3 GORGEOUS knitted boggins and an adorable little purse. Her and her husband sell their wares and they are soooo beautiful and such good quality.
I think DH and I look rather precious in them wouldn't ya think? = D toot toot!
