what to do with your child's stuff?

My daughter is outgrowing clothes so quick. My cousin is pregnant with a girl due this december. I am so undecided if I should give her some stuff or save it for in case we have another baby. My husband says we can buy as we need it next time.

Re: what to do with your child's stuff?
I sort through and save a bunch. But he really has TOO many clothes at each size, so I do pack some up to donate to the local Mother's House by my church.
The ones I save I pack into those Ziplock Space bags. Those things are INCREDIBLE! I pack them up by size and label the bags.
"A new baby is like the beginning of all things--wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities."
Anyway, my SIL and a very close cousin have babies younger than DS (one is 9 weeks younger and one is not born yet), so I'm letting them borrow some things because I trust them to give it back if we have future children and need the clothes back. But I would only do this with close friends or family because I know they'll give them back to me when they're finished.
We are done, so I am saving them and then I will consign the good things, and donate the rest. Right now they are just in a box in her closet.

FI's dad works with a woman who is excellent with quilting. She offered to make a quilt out of some of DS's clothes. I gathered up all of his cute newborn onesies that were special to me (the one we brought him home in, the onesie his newborn pictures were done in, all of the onesies that our friends decorated at our shower, etc.). It looks great! And it's super soft. DS loves it
