T-Shirt Quilts

Questions & Answers

What makes a quilt a quilt? 

A blanket has two layers, a quilt has three layers and a quilt has an artistic stitching pattern over the entire surface of the quilt that binds the three layers together to increase durability. Your t-shirt squares make up the top layer, followed by the batting for weight and warmth, then the final layer of  backing material. 

Can I use the front and back of a shirt?

Yes, you can use the front, back, or both sides of a single shirt for your t-shirt quilt. Please attach the numbers from the T-Shirt Quilt Design Guide to each side that you would like to use. 

Can I use t-shirts, sweatshirts, golf shirts, jerseys, tank tops, etc. in the same quilt?

Yes, we can incorporate almost any clothing material in your t-shirt quilt. Custom squares require an additional fee. Please note, items that require reinforcement (spandex, nylon, thin, or stretchy) will incur a labor fee.

Do I cut my own shirts before I send them?

No, we do all of the cutting for you! You can send in your entire shirt and we will handle the cutting. 

Can I combine graphics into one square?

Yes, we can create collage squares that include multiple graphics from a single shirt or multiple shirts. As long as the graphics fit within the 15″x15″ square, they can be combined.
