    She wants to use them to wrap up in with her little girl & for her to be able to use when she has her cousins over. She is also planning way ahead so she will have them a keepsake when her daughter goes to collage. She is only six now.

    I just saw your quilts...I like it...did you take the snaps off the bibs or strings or just left them on?

    I removed the snaps from the back of the bib very carefully so I would not cut into the front, some of them were velcro and I did the same thing. I machine appliqued the bibs to the top using a decorative stitch and tried to stay close to the edge, sometimes the edging was too thick so I used it as a guide. The bibs were the easiest to do and a lot of fun. I did find that you need to go very slow if doing a decorative stitch .

    Thank you for looking and commenting on them, both were a lot of fun and I am finally giving them to the receipieant tonight.

    What a great idea. I never thought about that. I have a great nephew coming in July and I think I will get my Niece to save me some of his clothes after he outgrows them and baby blanket and bibs and etc. What a great way to go down memory lane later.

    That is such a wonderful keepsake for a child. Love it. Can't wait to try and make one.

    Quilting is my hobby and I enjoy it that is really a great idea and i too would like to see it. I think it would look lovely and may give me a chance to learn more about quilting and maybe try it out.

    Cool idea. I have some in my kitchen drawers that the babies have outgrown. Might have to try it.
