MAD ABOUT T-SHIRT QUILTS
Want a way to use those t-shirts that are taking up room in your dressers and closets? Let us make a beautiful keepsake quilt out of them for you! T-shirt quilts make great gifts and are a wonderful way to commemorate an event such as a graduation or birthday. You supply the t-shirts and we will transform them into a lovely keepsake quilt. Quilt sizes are only limited by the number of t-shirts you would like to use, so start gathering them up! Go to Our Gallery to see photos of some of our T-shirt Quilts.
We offer two layout options:
1) Standard Style - All t-shirt blocks are 14” finished. If the design on any t-shirt is larger than 13.5” overall it may not totally be included in the block. We will do our best to include as much of a design as possible. We use 1 ½” wide fabric sashing strips to separate the blocks. Our sashing fabric is 100% high quality cotton. We offer 10 colors for you to choose from, or let us choose a complementary color for you. 2“ borders of the same color fabric are then added to complete the quilt top.
2) MAD-Collage Style -T-shirt block sizes can vary, allowing more flexibility in the parts of the t-shirt that can be used. Sashing and borders are usually not necessary with this style. This design option is more complex and is priced accordingly.
T-Shirt Blocks-All t-shirt blocks are stabilized with a light weight fusible interfacing prior to quilt construction.
Batting and Backing: The batting is a high quality layer of a cotton/polyester blend fluff sandwiched between the t-shirt top and the backing. Our backing fabric is a 100% cotton neutral beige patterned fabric which will complement any décor.
Quilting and Finishing: Each quilt is professionally machine quilted in an overall pattern to provide a more stable and durable finished product. A double thick binding is then applied to the outside edge to finish your quilt.
Preparation: All t-shirts should be washed prior to mailing to us. Any stains or fading will show up in the finished quilt. Please do not cut your T-shirts ahead of time, we will do that for you. Extra t-shirt fabric will be returned with the finished quilt only if requested ahead of time.
Please allow 4-6 weeks from receipt of your t-shirts for us to complete your quilt.
Shipping: We will ship via USPS Priority Mail and charge a flat rate of $20.00 which covers shipping and insurance.
