What are some unique keepsake quilting ideas?

Answer by  DanielleG (219)

I've seen ones made of old children's cloths quilted into the shape of the children by tracing their bodies. Another way is photo transfer onto cloth and sew them in.

A personal way to make quilts is by cutting up old t shirts from events or baby clothes and using them as the quilt squares

Answer by  CarolynOsborne (2804)

One type of quilt can be made from t-shirts that a person has collected. Similarly, you can use pieces of favorite old clothing. Another type involves each person in a family or group drawing a design on a block that can be embroidered. Finally, you can give each person a quilt square and have them decorate it with fabric paints.
