Custom Made T-Shirt Quilt
Turn treasured T-shirts, sports jerseys, or your child's favorite outgrown clothes into a beautiful quilt. They make meaningful gifts for birthdays, graduations, Father's Day, Mother's Day, and more. Our T-shirt quilts can also honor loved ones with a comforting memorial keepsake, offering a thoughtful way to preserve special memories.
I usually add 1–3 inches of sashing between each shirt block for a more uniform look. I also add lightweight stabilizer behind each shirt for added durability and a cohesive feel. One or two borders finish the quilt top. I provide all materials—including stabilizer, thread, fabric for sashing, borders, backing, and binding as well as 80/20 batting—so you only need to supply the shirts.Every quilt is crafted with care, priced fairly - all materials are included in the pricing.

"No Sashing" is best recommended when you have 30 or more shirts or items. This style accommodates a larger number of pieces and creates a beautiful mosaic or collage effect.
Single Sashing is my go-to for giving a memory quilt a clean, finished look.
Double Sashing works great when you have fewer shirts/items, or need to make a smaller piece into a larger block to match the others.
Constructed Blocks:
There is a $5 added fee for blocks that have to be constructed. Example: Combining two or more shirts/items to make one block.
Outer Borders:
Each outer border is $1 × how many blocks are in the quilt.Example: 2 outer borders around 20 blocks: 2 x 20 = 40 $40
