A T‑shirt quilt is a meaningful way to preserve the memories tucked inside your drawers, closets, or storage bins and turn them into something you can enjoy every day. They’re perfect for graduates heading off to college, anyone downsizing or decluttering, or people who want to honor a chapter of life through the shirts that tell their story. Whether your collection comes from sports, concerts, travel, school, or decades of everyday moments, I transform those well‑loved pieces into a cozy quilt made for your couch, bed, or gifting. Each quilt is designed to celebrate your memories while giving your shirts a new life you can wrap yourself in
If you’ve already pieced your quilt top but don’t want to wrestle the quilting on your home machine, longarm quilting is an easy way to get your project over the finish line. Whether the quilt is too big, too bulky, or you’re simply ready to move on to your next project, I can take it from here and turn your finished top into a beautifully quilted, ready‑to‑bind heirloom. It’s a stress‑free way to enjoy the quilt you worked so hard to create.
Tshirt Quilt Styles
I offer two layout styles for T‑shirt quilts, each designed to honor your shirts and create a balanced, beautiful composition. Mosaic Style uses a mix of block sizes to highlight each graphic naturally, perfect for collections with varied designs. Column Style uses clean, uniform columns for a more structured look while still adapting to the unique artwork on each shirt.
Every T‑shirt quilt is a full‑service experience: you bring the shirts, and I handle everything from stabilizing and cutting to piecing, quilting, and finishing - delivering a durable, ready‑to‑use quilt at the end. More details about the shirt‑prep process and pricing can be found in (placeholder).
Unlike large T‑shirt quilt companies that rely on a single block size and often crop off important parts of your graphics, I design each quilt with an artist’s eye. My focus is on durability, thoughtful construction, and letting your shirts truly shine. Your collection deserves more than a cookie‑cutter layout - it deserves a quilt composed with care, intention, and honors the memories it holds.
These are a rough estimate of shirts needed and price for various sized quilts. This is only an estimate, as some shirts have larger or smaller designs, or have designs on only one side or both sides. Once we receive your shirts, we will create a digital image showing what your quilt will look like, and will provide the final size and price for your specific quilt. Size and layouts can be modified to meet your needs, just let me know what your specific requests are and we’ll tailor it to be just right for you. Y
My Digital Mockup Process (Maquettes)
Before cutting into your shirts, I create a digital mockup—or maquette—that maps out the approximate colors, block sizes, and overall layout of your quilt. This helps me plan a balanced, visually cohesive composition and ensures your graphics are highlighted in the best possible way. Upon request, I’m happy to share this mockup with you so you can preview the general layout before any cutting begins. It’s a simple, low‑stress way to collaborate and make sure your quilt feels just right while keeping your shirts safe until the design is finalized.
