Quilts as Cool as Your Taste in Baby Clothes

Quilts as Cool as Your Taste in Baby Clothes

I have a terrible time parting with my baby's clothes when they're outgrown. I end up tossing favorite ones in a bag for, um...stuffed animals? Dolls? Quiet moments alone with a bottle of Chardonnay? I don't know. But I don't want to get rid of them.

So of course I'm loving the Baby Clothes Quilt kit from mom-run Ticche & Bea. The kit comes with everything except Martha Stewart to sit there and do it for you. You'll get minkie squares to alternate with the squares for your own gorgeous (of course) kids clothes, plus batting, a backing, pins, and of course directions. Very specific ones, according to the site.

If even that proves too much crafting for you (as it would me), you can send the kit - and your squares - back to the company and they'll take care of it all for an additional $40.

Suddenly those baby clothes that were worn for three months seem like a fabulous value after all. -Liz
