Have you ever made one of these?  Does any one have any resources on how to make one?  I googled, but only get extremely overpriced vendors... and I would like to make my own.

    I pinned one on pinterest today, but the person hired someone to do it.

     

    I googled it and came up with a few: baby clothes quilt tutorials

    I've made a blanket type lovie from baby clothes.  They're fairly easy, my main tip is that you need to make sure that the clothes are either the same sort of material or that the stretchy stuff is interfaced so that the squares don't stretch at different rates and cause bulging/ uneven seams.

    I didn't even think of the interfacing, thanks!  Did you use any type of pattern?

    No, I did straight blocks.  I think I ended up with 6-8", about the size of the front of a onsie, I can't remember exactly.  I then just laid everything out in my living room and did rows according to what patterns looked best together, and it ended up being cute.  Since mine was just a lovie, it was 5 x 5 blocks.

    I did this with all of DS's receiving blankets.  I just did straight squares.
