Baby clothing blanket

Do you have baby clothing sitting around? Looking for an easy way to keepsake them into something usable or decorative? If can iron and basic sew or appliqué then this a is a quick way to put those adorable baby outfits to use.
1.I cut out 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 squares for a Separate quilt first, then cut various leaf shapes of left over garment pieces. Because leaves come in sizes it was a fast trim. ( you could cut a piece of cardboard template if you want your uniform).
2.Then I sketched my tree shape and traced it onto a iron on interfacing.
3. I cut out the fabric and interfacing in one and ironed them together.
4. All that is left next is arrange the leaves and sew or iron on.
5. Decide on a border or none and just sandwich with backing and quilt batting surround with bias tape and WALA

Of course, you can quilt it and jazz it up any way you like. I plan to use other scrapes for an outer border and back with a fun heirloom pattern here is my tree in progress:
