Another Quilt

My mom, the queen of quilts, has recently started making baby clothes quilts.  Each square is created using a romper, onesie, baby doll dress or sailor suit that the sweet little trendsetter wore while accomplishing the firsts in life like rolling over, sitting up, crawling and walking.

So even when your innocent baby has grown to adventurous toddler a rebellious teenager or an adult you can still get wrapped up in the excitement of those first big steps in life by looking at this quilt.

My mom had offered to created one of this quilt time capsules for Grace but I had hesitated...until now. 

I pulled out totes that had stored these precious outfits away and I began to remember the milestones.

The firsts.

And, I began to realize, for the first time, how quickly time passes.

So, some of the outfits went back into the tote.  Outfits that I just couldn't imagine cutting up.  Outfits that will continue to be stored and saved.

Then there were outfits that were adorable, that made me smile, that I realized could make up a quilt that I would want to get wrapped up in the excitement of remembering.

What have you done with your children's baby clothes?
