Quick Sew Flap Wrap (QSFW) Cloth Diaper – Size Dilemma HELP!

This past week, an awesome supporter of The Cloth Diaper Foundation, Julie, donated this really cool, strange, odd, twisty, awesome cloth diaper to the organization. After a shout out on Facebook, and SEVERAL responses later, I found out that the proper name for this diaper is a QSFW Diaper, or Quick Sew Flap Wrap or Quick Snap Flap Wrap, depending on how you make it.

Cloth Diaper Memory Lane – What cloth diapers did you use?

When Hawk was still in cloth diapers all day, I had transformed his pack-n-play into a changing station FULL of cloth diapers! I would make sure, that when I would have people over, or I would take pictures, that all of my favorite cloth diapers were on top so that they could be seen.  Yes, I wanted to show them off!  What a better way to get people to ask about, and interested in, cloth diapers, than to show off the REALLY cute ones!
