Not a dish towel anymore!

My quilt top for Art Mom with a Pearl Earring is complete!


I love all of the variety in this quilt!
It is very fitting of my friend Diane who is whimsical in every way.



I had hoped that the backing would be here by now.
Oh well.
I suppose, while I wait, I will cut into this 
small fortune of Matilda Jane Clothes.
I am making a keepsake quilt for my friend 
out of all of her daughters old clothes.


I have to admit that I'm terrified to cut into all of these pretties!
But I have really fun plans for them so 
it's time for me to suck it up and start snipping and picking!
Wish me luck!

  3. Can't wait to see the progress on your keepsake quilt. My third is growing out of his infant clothes now, and I'm collecting them to cut into. There are some really cute ideas out there -- I've been stowing them away on a Pinterest board. Mine are mostly Old Navy and Carter's knit boywear, though. Not quite like your friend's pile up there . . . .

  8. looks like a pretty quilt you have going there. Lots of great fabrics.
    Now cutting up and sewing knit clothes...that should be fun and challenging. Can't wait to see what yo create with the baby clothes.
