Because I'm crazy...

A while back I was going through some of E's old clothes that I had set aside and I was trying to think of something I could do with them. He has had so many clothes, which will come in handy if we have another little one some day, but there are some things that just remind me of him and his baby years. So I decided to try and make a quilt using his old baby clothes as the center of each square. The kicker...I don't have a sewing machine, so I ended up doing the whole thing by hand. 90 hours later and...







Now, I have never made a quilt before. And I am not much of a sewer. But I am so proud of myself that this turned out. E loves to look at it. Every square has a story...first day of school last year, first haircut, what he wore home from the hospital, first trip to Europe, first Easter, first pair of jeans...etc. I had a hard time getting good pictures because it is pretty big. I think it looks better in person!
