| Got this onesie quilt idea from a friend in Mississippi |
 |
| Jennifer saved me all of Aiden's 1st year onesies |
 |
| This bitty buddy got a onesie quilt for Christmas |
When I got the box of onesies from Jennifer, there were 70+ onesies in there! Sizes from newborn to 12 to 18 months. The graphics on Newborn onesies are pretty small so I decided to cut a square out of each onesie and sew it to a 9" piece of 100% cotton fabric. The backing is 9" mint green flannel squares and the batting is 7" squares of Warm & Natural batting. There are tons of directions for rag quilts and onesie quilts on Pinterest. Since some of the graphics were small, some squares have 2 or 3 onesie squares. I machine embroidered his name and birthdate on one square. I was thrilled with the results and his mommy was too!
Confession ~ it was very hard to cut the first onesie, I guess this since this was my grandsons babyhood I was cutting up. But after about square 6 or 8....it got a lot easier. The pictures were taken Saturday ~ this little buddy is on the move constantly and sitting still for a picture with MaMa is not a priority! He can however be bribed with taking selfies on my cell phone!
Katie is saving me onesies from her boys and she will get one quilt with a combo of onesies from the 3 boys ~ mainly because I didn't think of doing this till #3 was on the way!
Thankful for ~
