T-Shirt Quilts
Have a box of old shirts packed away somewhere that you can't bring yourself to throw out? Unpack those boxes and I can help you turn those memories into a T-shirt quilt!
A few things you may need to know:
A few things you may need to know:
- Every quilt is unique in how many shirts are used and the final size of the quilt itself.
- Rarely do I make standard block quilts... I find having shirts offset is much more appealing to the eye. That said, here are some standard sizes that you may want to take into consideration:
-12 shirts minimum for a throw-size quilt (approx. 48" x 64" - 3 across x 4 down)
-20 shirts minimum for a twin size quilt (approx. 64" x 82" - 4 across x 5 down)
-30 shirts minimum for a full size quilt (approx. 82" x 96" - 5 across x 6 down)
-36 shirts minimum for a queen size quilt (approx. 96" x 96" - 6 across x 6 down)
-42 shirts minimum for a king size quilt (approx 110" x 96" - 7 across x 6 down) - T-shirt blocks are 14 inches when finished. Exceptions can be made for "oversize" shirts (such as the HOPE shirt in the quilt pictured).
Pricing
Although every quilt is unique, I tend to use the following pricing plan:
This pricing includes all cotton fabric for framing blocks, batting, cotton or flannel backing, thread, and interfacing. The quilt will be machine quilted (straight stitching along the edge of all shirts) and the binding will be sewn on by hand for a polished finish. All shirts need to be laundered by you before I will begin working with them.
