Look what my mom made me! There's a big story behind this quilt. She started cutting and piecing all of the flowers in 1975 after my sister and I started Montessori. Over the intervening 35 years she slowly made more flowers out of our baby clothes and 1970's era fabrics and put them together into a top, then little by little she quilted it, finishing this year!
I love those bunnies/carrots!
And these flannel kitties!
And she even signed it. Awwww, thanks mom.
What a great idea!! Love the quilt !! I have made one like this a few years ago....

That is amazing! I love quilts that are made of old clothes. They are so special. My grandma made one from my mom's old clothes from the late 40's early 50's. So much fun to look at the fabrics! Enjoy your fabulous quilt! Good job MOM!
