Okay, so I have never made a quilt before, I haven’t even really done much sewing. I have a sewing machine that I received as a Christmas gift, TWO years ago and it’s still in the box! Anyways, I am determined, I want to make a quilt out of my daughter’s old baby clothes that do not fit anymore. I have no idea even where to start. I don’t want to make to crazy of a pattern because I think that will be way over my head. I’m thinking small squares sewn into bigger squares (like 12" or 10") and then sewn together towards the end. Does anyone have any tips info on where to start? Any good links with pictures/instructions?

I’m thinking I may try and make a quilt out of some old t-shirts I have first, so I can mess up on that one and it won’t be that big of a deal, that way I can practice before I get started on the important one :)

I have made plenty of baby clothes quilts, and for me the crazy pattern is the easiest because it is the most forgiving. You just make it bigger than what you need, and trim the edges to be symmetrical.

Bear in mind that a baby clothes quilt will not lie as flat as a traditional quilt, and it will weigh a lot more.

Make a few outfits from purchased patterns just to learn how your machine works. You don’t need the stress!

Use quilters rulers, a cutting mat and rotary cutter to cut rectangles and triangles out of the baby’s clothes. First cut the front where you will have a design or motif, then get as many pieces as you can out of the rest of the garment. Don’t forget to open up the sleeves and use that material too. Save all collars, trims, buttons and bows.

Iron interfacing to the back of all your pieces. This will neutralize the stretch and thicken the thinner ones.

Start sewing them together in strips, then sew the strips together into big squares, then sew the squares together. topstitch all seams. It’s time consuming and uses a lot of thread but the quilt will be too lumpy if you don’t.

If you are very creative and this isn’t your first project, you will notice ways to use odd pieces like collars or big appliques.

When you have the top finished, layer it with your batting and backing and roll both ends tightly toward the center like a scroll. Tie the quilt at 4 inch intervals with embroidery thread. Finish with a binding all around.

Here are some pictures that might inspire you.
