Memory Quilts & T-shirt Quilts
Are you looking for the perfect personalized Christmas, birthday, retirement, or graduation gift? Memory Quilts are the solution. We can make a memory quilt from special t-shirts, baby clothes, baby blankets, scrubs, and more. We can use almost any type of clothing. These special pieces of clothing are cut and pieced together into a block quilt. Squares are about 12 – 15 inches each for t-shirts and sweatshirts but will be smaller for baby's or children’s quilts.
We can add borders around the shirts to set them apart or stitch the shirts together. We offer special designs that incorporate logos, arm designs or smaller pieces.
The costs listed below include: preparing the clothing, cutting & piecing, a solid backing, finishing, batting, quilting and binding. Borders around the t-shirts are extra as is any additional (non-standard) piecing or special designs for the layout of the quilt. Patterned or special fabric for the borders or back is extra as well.
T-shirt Quilt Pricing Guidelines:
Number of Shirts No Borders With Borders* Approximate Size (depending on shirt size and borders)
9 $140 $165 Crib or small lap quilt
12 $185 $205 Small Lap quilt
16 $225 $265 Twin Blanket or Large Lap Quilt
20 $270 $310 Twin or Full
24-25 $325 $370 Full or Queen (Queen may require more shirts or large borders)
* Borders are the pieces of regular fabric (not t-shirt fabric) in between the t-shirt squares. Without borders would mean placing the t-shirts right next to each other with no dividers.
Pieced backing starts at $30. Special designs or layout as well as an outside border are extra as well. All prices are approximate. Contact us for a quote for your project.
