Matilda Jane Quilt

Oh hello!
It's been a while.  
My little break was oh so nice but I'm ready to get back to work.  
I finished the Matilda Jane Quilt I was working on about a month ago.
I gave it to my friend Katie who took the most amazing pictures of it.
Now it's living with the lovely girl 
who once wore all of these clothes.
I'll let the pictures tell you more......






I'm telling you, if all of these clothes didn't
actually belong to someone else 
I would have refused to ever sell it!
I am so proud of how this quilt turned out.
It just about did me in though!
In fact, it is the entire reason that I had to take a beat.
Sewing from old clothes is no small task.
If you're interested in the process just let me know in the comments.
Maybe I'll have to do a post on that.

Thanks for stopping by!

  16. I have almost 7 years of my daughters clothes stashed in a closet. With another baby boy on the way I can't part with my sons but my husband would love if I cleaned out her closet. Did you ever do a follow up post on your progress for this quilt?! (This little girl must have had an amazing wardrobe :) )

  19. HI! I found your site b/c I recently heard of saving the kids matilda jane clothesf or a quilt. I have some nice pieces both cotton and jersey. Can they be mixed? Please email me if you are taking orders to do this again. I would do 2 throws. Otherwise I would need help figuring it out on my own!!
