Oh, what to do with all of those precious newborn clothes that baby instantly outgrows? The folks at Jelly Bean Quilts have a cozy idea. Send ‘em a box of your favorites, and they’ll piece together a custom quilt for baby (turnaround time is 12 to 16 weeks). They also make pillows and photo quilts — what a great way to hold on to those special moments spent rocking baby to sleep.
