    Default Quilt from baby clothes "Hannah's Quilt"

    Dear friend asked if I could make a quilt out of her daughters baby clothes. Of course I said "sure no problem". After looking at the tote full of baby clothes for a couple of years, I decided to tackle it. It turned out to be one of those times when you go "what was I thinking"! I got it finished with out a pattern and just would cut and fit as I went along and it started taking shape and I thought "maybe this won't look so bad after all'. The top is finished and she is having someone quilt it. She was thrilled when she saw it and starting weeping and couldn't believe how it looked. I'm sure she was also thinking it was about time I got it done. When I took it I told her I would try and have it done before the daughter went away to college, she is now in the 3rd grade. The size ending up being 61 x 83 inches, so that would be a nice size twin.
