T-shirt & Memory Quilts are for Documenting Your Legacy
The First T - Shirt Quilt I made.
Size = A Long Couch Throw
What do you do with those t-shirts that just sit in your drawers?
I had so many t-shirts that I could wear one t-shirt each day for over two months and not wear the same one twice. They all had memories of events that I either volunteered at, bike rides or runs that I did and places that I had visited. I even had t-shirts of my favorite sports teams. Some of the t-shirts were beginning to get old and some I didn’t wear anymore. I didn’t want to throw my memories away.
I looked at my t-shirts and sorted them in different categories. I made my first t-shirt quilt, and it looked great! This quilt I bordered each t-shirt with sashing (fabric between each t-shirt). I still had many t-shirts, so I made my second t-shirt quilt.
Now some of my t-shirts are no longer in a drawer stored away. They are beautiful memories displayed as a quilt that I get to see everyday.
Preparing your T-Shirts
T-shirts should be laundered and in good condition. Stains and discolorations will show up on your quilt. Please leave your t-shirts whole. If you cut your t-shirt too small, I may not be able to use it. Remnants of t-shirts will not be returned. Uncut items will be returned.
The Quilt
The traditional t-shirt quilt is made up of t-shirts that are all cut the same size. They are set in a grid pattern with sashing between the blocks. The sashing is a 100% cotton print, in a color which will complement your t-shirts. Backing is a 100% cotton neutral beige print fabric. The batting is 100% cotton. Each quilt is machine quilted in a pantograph pattern. This adds strength and beauty to your quilt. The final step is binding. The binding gives the quilt a professional finish. Each quilt can be named and dated. All quilts are custom!
