T-Shirt Quilts

Are you saving T-shirts from school, sports, organizations or concerts? I can make a wonderful showcase with all those special T-shirts you have been saving. We can use any amount of t-shirts. A throw size quilt can be made from as few as 12 t-shirts. A king size quilt may have as many as 42 or more t-shirts. The following are only typical examples. We can change the size of the blocks and sashing to get closer to a certain size you may want. For example, the t-shirt block can be only 12", it would depend on the graphics on the shirts. Fabrics from graduation gowns, costumes and uniforms can be added. You can have a double sided quilt if you choose. We are only limited by our imagination!

The following prices include: All fabrics (muslin, or black sashing & muslin backing), batting, cutting, stabilizing, piecing and quilting and binding. If you would like to have a different color for the sashing or backing, I can purchase the fabric for you and add the expense to your bill, or I can give you yardage amounts so you can purchase your own.

Traditional Setting	$14.00 per T-shirt	The traditional setting for a quilt is a 14" square of t-shirt graphic with 2" sashing.
Custom Setting	$16.00 per t-shirt	Custom setting would apply if we are using different sized shirts or graphics that have to pieced together. We can add fabrics from costumes or uniforms. The sashing may vary within the quilt.
Cornerstones	$2.00 each	These are the squares separating the sashing between t-shirts. Fabric of a different color than the sashing. This price includes cost of fabric plus application.
.Quilt Sleeve	$25.00	Quilts that will be displayed on walls should have a sleeve tacked to the back near the top edge , to hold a hanging rod.
Tabs for hanging	$2.00	Wide loops applied to the top of the quilt so you can hang it from a rod. This price includes cost of fabric plus application.
