T-Shirt Quilts

I love helping people give new life to cherished memories. T-shirt quilts are a wonderful way to celebrate major life events including graduations, health & fitness accomplishments, childhood activities, summer camps, vacations, family memories, sports etc...

Your project will be made with love & care according to your vision and selection of colors and materials.

You can choose the layout order of your T-shirts, or you can leave that up to me.

T-shirts will be interfaced with a light weight fusible interfacing to keep the quilt soft and cozy, but also ensure durability.

Quits are backed with cotton, flannel, or minky "cuddle" fabric, and quilted on my Juki long arm sewing machine.

I use Cotton/Polyester, 1/4" thick batting. All-over quilting ensures that your quilt will not get lumpy over time.

Quit edge will be bound by machine in a coordinating cotton fabric.

Finished quilts are machine washable and get softer with use!

Getting started is easy! Review pricing and details below, then email me at albrightquilts@gmail.com to inquire about lead times and any questions you may have.

Pricing includes all materials needed to finish the quilt including batting, backing fabric, thread and interfacing.

Step One - Select Layout

1 - Traditional Layout

This is the most affordable, and a great choice if all T-shirt designs are similar in size.

2 - Traditional with cotton fabric sashing

(+$3 per shirt side)

Adding a fabric sashing between t-shirt blocks can be a fun way to give a uniform look to a variety of different color shirts, or highlight special things like team or school colors. Many universities and professional sports teams have licensed print fabric available to coordinate with a T-shirt collection.

Please let me know what color / pattern your are interested in and I will email suggestions for approval.

3 - Mosaic Layout

(+$4 per shirt side)

This is the most popular layout and tends to be more interesting to look at. If your collection of T-shirts include a variety of different sized designs, or if you want to include small details (like front of shirt or sleeve elements) I recommend this layout.

please note that this layout will change based on number of shirts and size of designs on the shirt panels.

4 - Square in Square

(+$5 per shirt side)

This style includes blocks of quilting weight cotton between the T-shirts.

This is a great choice if your T-shirt collection includes shirts with smaller designs, or if you have fewer shirt, but still would like a larger size quilt.

Let me know what fabric colors / patterns you are interested in and I will email suggestions for approval.

Step 2 - Select Quilt Backing

1 - Light Weight Quilting Cotton (included in price)

2 - Cotton Flannel (included in price)

Let me know your color / style preferences and I will email you material options for approval.

Quilting Cotton is the best choice for a quilt that will be used outside for picnics, outdoor concerts, and games. Flannel would be a good choice if you want to take it to the stadium for a cold, winter game.

3 - Minky "Cuddle" Fabric (additional $30 - $40 based on size of quilt)

This is so soft and cozy! Perfect for indoor use on the couch.

Step 3 - Request a Quote and Make a Reservation

email me at albrightquilts@gmail.com to confirm lead time and make a reservation for your project
I will send you a quote based on your selections

Step 4 - Prepare your T-Shirts

All t-shirts must be clean. Please let me know if you have any requests in terms of placement or if there are particular shirts that you want to make sure are in the center or focal part of the quilt.

Also, please let me know if you would like any of the scraps or remnants returned to you otherwise they will be recycled.

Step 5 - Ship your T-shirts & Pay Deposit

I will provide a shipping address when the reservation is made.

A 50% cash, Paypal, or Venmo deposit to cover the cost of materials is due before I start sewing your project. The balance is due upon return of the completed quilt.

I am based in Walnut Creek, CA. If you live nearby, you are welcome to drop off / pick up to avoid shipping costs.

Step 6 - Wait for "Quilt Finished" email

I will be in-touch with you throughout the process and will email you images of fabrics for your approval before I begin sewing. Once your quilt is finished I will email you to arrange return shipping or pickup.

Shipping cost is the responsibility of the buyer and will be included on the final invoice.

Step 7 - Enjoy your Quilt for Years to Come

I hope that all my customers are completely satisfied with their purchase. Due to the custom nature of the project I can not accept returns or offer refunds. I will communicate with your closely through the process to ensure that the final project is just what you were expecting.
