Most Popular Questions
How does it work?
1. Choose your size quilt then add to cart and checkout
You will receive an email with a link to finalize your order. This step includes specifying the number of shirts you'll send, and it's also your chance to add personal touches like embroidery or photo panels.
2. Easy and Tracked Shipping
Once your order is set, we'll send you a link to receive our shipping label. This label covers both sending your shirts to us and the return of your finished quilt. Plus, it helps us track your order efficiently as it joins the many we receive each week.
3. Sending Your Shirts
You have the flexibility to drop off your shirts at a post office or schedule a pickup. Once we receive your shirts at one of our facilities, we'll notify you via email. You'll also be updated when your quilt is on its way back to you.
Turnaround time
If you send your shirts now, the quilt will ship about 2-3 weeks after we receive them. We have a rush processing option if you need your quilt faster.
Kind of Shirts we can use
We can mix in different types of fabric, not just cotton t-shirts! We are able to make the most affordable quilts because we only incorporate fabrics and materials that are durable and easy to work with. Some clothing items require a minor fix, but other fabrics either are difficult to work with, or not compatible with our sewing machines.
Materials that work:
T-shirts, sweatshirts/hoodies, tech and dri fit fabrics, fleece, flannel, scrub tops, jerseys- basketball, volleyball, hockey jerseys, golf polos, polos* . See examples
Materials that do not work:
We can not use Denim/jeans, shirts with zippers, silk, sweaters, knits, canvas, nylon jackets/tracksuits, leather, canvas, letterman jackets, wool, Lycra, Spandex, dance & gymnastics leotards/costumes, sequins, down filled items, women's blouses, satin, graduation gowns/sashes, tote bags
Materials that may work but would require an alteration fee:
We can use additional materials not listed above but they may require an additional fee of $8.99.
Rally towels, button down shirts with logos close to collar, polos with logos that are very close to the collar, undersized tank tops/sleeveless shirts, v-neck shirts, cheerleading tops, puff paint, rhinestones, pinnies
The additional charge is due to increased time and attention that we give these pieces to make sure they look great in your finished quilt and to ensure they do not damage our equipment. You will be billed if there is any custom work needed.
What does a tshirt side/panel mean?
A T-shirt side is either a front or a shirt or a back. We can use either.
What are the instructions for sending shirts? how to cut
You will get these instructions in your order confirmation email. The video in the confirmation email also shows you should prep your shirts. Please do not cut shirts before watching the video. You have to order each quilt separately, you can not order multiple in one order. Please send us a email if you ordered multiple quilts in the same order.
If you follow our instructions, you will get exactly what you want. If there are shirts that are smaller than our 13x13 machines, we can use them, but will cost $9 per shirt for us to do custom work on. We can use a mix of a lot of different kinds of material. Sweaters, leotards, and jeans do not work.
What Impact Does My Quilt Have on the Environment?
By turning your old t-shirts into a quilt, you're giving new life to garments that might otherwise end up in landfills. Our process helps reduce textile waste and avoids mass production — creating one meaningful, lasting item instead of more short-lived clothing.
We also use environmentally conscious methods in both our production and shipping. From mindful material use to low-waste packaging, we’ve built a process that’s as kind to the planet as it is to your memories.
How everything works
Construction
Do you actually quilt?
We take a perfect square from each of your shirts, using the BEST parts of the shirts, and sew them together on the front of the t-shirt quilt. Then we back the quilt with high-quality fleece (your choice of colors!). We do not quilt your t-shirts, which is a much more labor-intensive process. There are many great t-shirt quilt companies out there, but we heard from people that they wanted to preserve their t-shirt memories and get a great product without paying 500 to 700 dollars for it! We realize you may be thinking: How can you make a product that is top quality yet so much more affordable? Well, the way we construct the t-shirt quilt (sewing all of the shirts together and then attaching the fleece on the back) takes a lot less time to make, and we pass the savings on to you.
Also, you can search through thousands of examples at the bottom of our product page.
What's unique about our process?
- We spend a lot of time carefully cutting the most important parts, and laying out the t-shirts to make the finished design look great!
- We don't use any batting or interfacing. You may ask: "Why? That's what my quilting friend says you NEED to do." The problem with that is the t-shirts may look really stiff at first, but with the wash, the interfacing gets destroyed. Our blankets are meant to be used and washed!
- The fleece is sewn around the outside and attached to the t-shirts. You can technically pull the two sides apart, but only if you REALLY wanted to. They lie flat and stay together VERY well, even after many many washes.
Please let us know if you have any questions--- we are always happy to talk t-shirt quilts.

You can update your order using the options in the self-service portal linked in your confirmation email. Need help or don’t see what you’re looking for? Just reach out, we’re happy to assist!

Redeem my gift card
Pick out your quilt size
Then enter the code on your card at checkout where it says, discount code.
Sometimes customers forget they redeemed the code already, but never sent their shirts. That is usually why a code say it does not work.
Extensions
After placing your order, you’ll have 2 full months to send us your shirts. If you're getting close to the deadline and need more time, no problem — just pay a small extension fee and send your shirts when you're ready. We want to make the process as stress-free as possible.
Timeline
You have 2 months to send in your shirts after you order. We do not refund after that. If you need more time, that's okay, just pay a small extension fee in your customer portal. We do this so we can make sure we are properly staff and can meet customer demand.
Makes downgrade changes
Our system makes it easy to pick a bigger size post purchase. If you need a smaller size, just write a note on your packing slip, and send in your shirts. Send us a note after you get your quilt back, and we can refund the difference.
Washing instructions
Can I wash? Yes, no dry cleaning needed, like more clunky old style quilts.
There is a label on your quilt. Wash cold, tumble dry low.
What kind of box should you use to send your shirts?
Any box that you can fit your shirts, and can be securely taped up! Many people use their old Amazon boxes. For best results do not use priority flat rate boxes.
Fleece Color Options
When you order a tshirt quilt with fleece on the back, you can pick one of 7 colors of fleece.
Navy Blue, Orchid, Light Blue, Gray, Red, Black, Green
We can still use both sides of your shirts with a fleece backing quilt. You will get prep info in order confirmation or can find it in our FAQ
I already cut some shirts
We need at least 13x13 inches (33x33 cm) of material for regular size panels. If a few are smaller, we can use them, but will cost $9 extra. If you have a lot of small pieces that are different sizes, we might not be the right fit.
Specific Requests
One way we try to keep prices low for you is that we do not take a ton of custom requests. Our process is built to make you a beautiful tshirt quilt at an affordable price. If you want a lot of bells and whistles, we might not be the right fit.
If you have a specific part of the shirt that you want, you can use masking tape to mark it. Make the square 12x12 inches (or 33x33 cm)
We can only make the sizes we have available on our site, and we try to not to make quilts where there are a ton of small pieces. We can do a few for you for $9 extra per piece, but not more than 5-6.

Gift Card and E-Card Guidelines
Gift cards and e-cards cannot be combined with any other discounts or promotions.
Only one gift card or e-card code per quilt order can be redeemed.
All gift card and e-card sales are final - they cannot be returned or refunded. If a gift card is lost, we do not reissue gift cards or offer credit. Gift cards and e-cards cannot be used for shipping, upgrades, or any custom work invoices that your order may incur during production.
The gift cards and e-cards are sold and bought per size (not as a monetary value) and can only be redeemed for the size listed on the gift card or e-card.
Example: If you bought a Queen size gift card or e-card, it is meant to be redeemed for a Queen size quilt. It cannot be used to buy one Twin size and one Full size. If you redeem the card or digital code for a smaller size than listed on the card, you are acknowledging that there will be no remaining balance for another purchase and once the order is complete, the money cannot be reloaded to the gift card or as a digital credit.
T-shirt quilt with Pajamas
We can use pajamas to make a t-shirt quilt. Please send at least 15x15 inch (38x38 cm) pieces when you send.
How to include specific names/sponsors on a panel
If you need a specific name or sponsor included on one of your panels, please mark the area with masking tape that you would like us to use. If no area is marked, we cannot guarantee the name/sponsor to be included.
Alterations & Repairs
When customers send in stuff that requires custom work, we bill them for the extra work. Our team has processed thousands of shirts, and they know what needs extra attention, and what does not. We have expert cutters, designers, and sewers. Thank you for trusting us to make the best blanket possible for you.
Tank Tops
Sometimes tank tops need a little extra work so we can grab the best part of the shirt and center the image on the finished panel. It costs $8.99 per piece extra and you will be billed after we receive and review these items at production.
V neck shirts & cheer tops
Frequently V necks and cheer tops may require some custom work ($8.99 extra per panel) to meet the size requirement, and make them fit uniformly in the quilt. This quilt had fabric added to several of the V necks - and the finished product turned out great!
Too Small Shirts
When shirts arrive that are too small to fill the ordered panel size, we add fabric to the shirt to ensure it fits uniformly with the other panels on the quilt. Below are some examples of how our team makes these alterations. It is $8.99 per shirt that is too small.
How many shirts do I need for each size?
What is a SIDE of a t-shirt? It's either the front OR the backside of the t-shirt.
We only need the designated number of sides of shirts (front or back), not full t-shirts. For example, a Full size blanket can be made with 15 full t-shirts using the fronts and backs, or 30 shirts just using one side or any combination in between. DO NOT SEND EXTRA SHIRTS.
