Baby Clothes Quilts Come in Two Varieties – Simple and Complex
A complex baby clothes quilt is exactly what the name says; it’s complex. We use all of the adorable parts of your baby’s clothes. We’ve used complete onesies, footie pajamas, bibs, hats, dresses, overalls, shoes and much more! The result is a quilt that reflects the personality of each clothing item.
A simple baby clothes quilt still uses the adorable clothes you send us. However, we simply take a block of fabric from each item as opposed to using a whole piece or a significant part of the item.
Additional work is involved for both types of baby clothes quilts compared to a traditional T-shirt quilt. Thus, the price of a baby clothes quilt is more than a T-shirt quilt. The price for a simple baby clothes quilt is less than the complex baby clothes quilt. Complex baby clothes quilts take tons of extra woman-hours throughout the entire process.

Does your baby have lots of overalls? If so their quilt might look like this! If you look close you can see over 10 pairs of overalls. We also used footie pajamas, hats and much more!
We love the sense of playfulness the border adds to this quilt. This quilt demonstrates that a boy can have just as cute quilt as a girl.
Lots of Feet!

One foot, two foot, left foot, blue foot!
This quilt might hold the record for how many footie PJ’s we’ve ever used in a quilt. We design it so the feet hang loose from the quilt.
We only included the super cute feet – you know, the ones with the faces or other distinguishing feature. It would be a shame to have those sewed-down or not included.
Purple Baby
Size: 64x76
Border: 2” solid
On the surface, this quilt might look simple. But it’s more complex than you might realize. There are girly overall, sweaters you can unbutton, a hat, pockets, and dresses.
We tend to like quilts with a cohesive color scheme. This quilt has lots of purples and pinks with nice pops of yellow to set off the purple.
Hats!
Size: 64x72
Border: None
When you look at this quilt, the first thing that grabs your attention is the number of hats.
If you spend more time looking, you see the different clothing items used. This includes bibs overalls and even blankets.
We like that this quilt is very interactive and tactile. The overalls can be unbuttoned or unsnapped. There are pockets all over the place.
Outfits

One of the super cool things about complex baby clothes quilts are that we can use whole outfits.
The sweatshirt in upper right hand corner is a perfect example of this. The hood and both sleeves move and are interactive. Pockets can still be used and zippers still works. It really is Too Cool!
