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!

T-shirt
Quilt Frequently Asked Questions!
T-Shirt
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.

Here is a photo from our local newspaper of a Custom
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!!
This photo of a Variable t-shirt quilt was
sent to me by my customer - thank you!
Another custom designed Variable t-shirt quilt
- a mother's gift to her grown son. It's made from her son's
t-shirts as a remembrance of the schools he attended, special
vacation destinations, sports figures, concerts, and activities
that he was involved in while growing up!

Pillow Shams
Pillow Shams made from
t-shirt quilts - you need 2-4 shirts per sham.
Shams are made with an
envelope back and a flanged edge. They come in standard, queen
and king size.
Throw Pillows
Pillows are 20 inches and can be ordered with or without a pillow
form. The back has an envelope style opening so the pillow cover
can be removed from the pillow form.
Each pillow requires one t-shirt.
