ReplyDeleteHe looks very happy snuggled in his blanket.
Oh that is just gorgeous. Too late to make for my Granndies but will keep it in mind for the next wee one in the family..
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, what a precious keepsake for your grandson.
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable...you will get orders from all the family now hahaha. you're very clever..
ReplyDeleteI should do something like that for Danae:)
I didn't quilt when my older kids were small or scrapbooking so Danae seems to be getting it all lol.....oh well just wait till my kids make me a nanny...their kids will have quilts and dolls coming out their ears
What a terrific idea and he sure looks comfortable wrapped in his new blanket .Great job!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful and special! I wasn't a quilter back when my son was little and now have none of his baby clothing. You had a great idea for a keepsake, looks like he loves it! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful fantastic idea... I have never thought of doing anything like that before... I have done memory quilts with photo's and I have seen quilts using t-shirts but your idea of their first yr is just wonderful... and the receiver approves xxxx
ReplyDeletebubz...what an awesome idea for a quilt....I love it....looks like you little man does as well....
ReplyDeleteThat is just the cutest quilt...so clever!!
ReplyDeleteKismet! I've been trying to work out how to tackle PRECISELY the same thing. There are a lot of grown-out of clothes in those cupboards of mine...
ReplyDeleteThat is precious, Fiona!! What a wonderful heirloom to keep and pass down. :-)
