Just like the song with the same name, this quilt pays tribute to a darling little girl growing up too fast.

I made this quilt on commission.  Each quarter circle on the quilt was made using fabric from the much-loved outfits of a baby girl.  Most of the embellishments came from the clothes as well.  Being the mother of sons myself, you can image how much fun I had working with ruffles and lace! 

Yes, it was a little hard cutting into those beautiful garments at first.  But just like a butterfly, the clothes have been transformed into something colourful and new.  Now a wonderful quilt takes their place, full of cherished memories, ready to be loved anew and never to be outgrown.
