Save your memories in a t-shirt quilt!
T-shirt quilts are wonderful remembrances of school
activities, sports, fraternity and sorority events. They're great
for club activities, anniversaries, scouting events, vacations
and many other activities and provide a visual history of your
life.
All of my quilts are
made using cotton fabric for the sashing, backing and batting,
and are quilted for stability - not tied!

Variable style t-shirt quilt that I made from a collection
of vacation t-shirts. There are approximately 120 t-shirts in
this quilt which tell 120 different stories!!

Quilt Information
All quilts are made using
cotton fabric for the sashing, backing and batting, and are
machine quilted in a meandering pattern which covers the entire
t-shirt block for stability - not tied! I use invisible
nylon thread which doesn't interfere with the design of the shirt.
This quilting method results in a very attractive texture and
provides exceptional stability.
I offer two styles of
t-shirt quilts - traditional and variable.
A Traditional
t-shirt quilt means that the shirts are all cut the same size.
The shirts are placed in a grid pattern, and have sashing between
the blocks. The quilt is then machine quilted. The price is determined
by the number of t-shirts. The pricing is based on a 14"
square t-shirt block with 1 1/2" sashing and 2" borders.
A Variable t-shirt
quilt is made by varying the size of the squares made from the
shirts. A variable style is good if you have shirts of various
sizes - this style allows you to incorporate various size shirt
blocks, smaller logos, such as pocket designs and smaller squares.
If you have t-shirts that are already cut, a variable style t-shirt
quilt is also a good choice. Variation in the size of the blocks
makes the quilt more interesting. The pricing is based on a 14"
wide shirt block. These quilts also have 1 1/2" sashing
in between the blocks and 2" borders.
Pillow shams are made
with an envelope style back to slip your pillow in. They have
a 2" flanged edge and can be made to coordinate with your
quilt. Two to four shirts are usually enough for a pillow sham.
