The scrapbook you can sleep under.
So, How Much Will it Cost?
For a Traditional/Standard T-Shirt - or Premier Custom Quilt - One t-shirt block is There is an additional fee if the block is a sports jersey, tank top, or pieced from multiple shirts or front and backs.
Our pricing is all inclusive, which includes a great selection of fabrics for your one-of-a-kind quilt, all materials, custom professional machine quilting, tons of extra features to commemorate your t-shirt quilt. You can choose from our in-house inventory of over 800 bolts of fabrics. We have basic tone-on-tone colors as well as a variety of trendy, modern and novelty prints. We also offer at no additional charge - a wide outer border. The outer border gives a finished look to the quilt.
We've had a number of requests for a simpler quilt design that more directly compares to our lower-priced competition. If you prefer that simple look, just specify the "Basic" option for /block. Like all of our T-Shirt quilts, the price is all-inclusive. But unlike our competition, you get a full 6" outer border around the entire quilt instead of the typical 2 or 3 inches! Please note that the optional accent border is NOT available on this option.
New Lower-price Option! Our Frameless/No Sashing T-Shirt Quilt is the newest option that we are offering. At per block this makes a very economical option for you. We have removed the sashings and cornerstones and sew the shirts directly to each other. This option is great if you have a lot of concert shirts that might be larger than our standard 14" block. We do suggest that you add the Optional Accent Border as a frame around the shirts before we add our signature 6 inch outer border. We DO stabilize your shirts. These quilts are still made with the highest quality materials and will last a lifetime.

Our Traditional and Standard T-Shirt Quilts include sashing and cornerstones***. A block is the front or back of a t-shirt. We can also use a combination of
smaller logos, photos, ties or almost any fabric item you can
think of for an additional minimal charge. We provide the backing and a high quality
batting and then FULLY QUILT it together with your t-shirts on the
front.
Cornerstones CAN be the same color as the sashing for a totally differnt look for no additional charge.
Each square finishes at approximately 14". You can specify a different size to make the quilt fit your specifications. Smaller sized t-shirts will result in smaller sized squares. By the same token, larger squares will result in a larger quilt. If you have an over-abundance of tshirts, maybe go to a smaller sized block, and small sized sashing. If you have several large image shirts, make a note on the order form, and we will do our best to adjust for those sizes when making your quilt.
Some of the most common sizes are listed below.
