What a beautiful thing you are doing for this family. I have no ideas or words of wisdom, but please post pictures when it's complete.

Unfortunately the link she provides doesn't work but I bet you could figure out a way to sew the entire outfit down.

here is another

the first one was probably done with an appliqué stitch to hold the stitches down. A well thought out quote with the baby's name would probably mean a lot.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]389001[/ATTACH]This is the quilt I made with both of my sons baby clothes. This was made when i had very little experience quilting. Hope this gives you some ideas. The ladies at a quilting bee at the church hand quilted it for me. It is lap sized and I love it. The relatives will worry less about how perfect the quilt is and more about how many great memories the clothes bring back. I would look closely at each set of clothes before picking a pattern. Sending hugs to you as this is an emotionally difficult project and responsibility to undertake.
