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....
I love the green! What a great gift this is, especially because it comes from your mom, but also because it spans so many years. All those memories this quilt holds...
Wow!!! What a treasure!I
love that she used your baby clothes to create it. So special.

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!
Aww...

That's about the neatest thing ever. Love the use of your old baby clothes, and it's so special knowing how long she worked on it! How wonderful.
