Not Enough T-shirts? I can use blank blocks of colored T-shirt material to make your quilt larger.

2. Clean your T-shirts. Please use unscented detergent and drier sheets, or launder without.

3. Mark Your T-shirts with Any Instructions using  blue painters tape. (Which t-shirts should be near the center.) We can do this together when you bring your t-shirts in, or I can design the layout for you.

4. Print out  and complete your order form. (This too can be completed with me.)

6. Your T-shirts have arrived in my hands.

·         If they were shipped I will call or e-mail you to let you know they have arrived safely.

·         Next, I calculate the size of your quilt. Then I can call you or e-mail you, telling you what the size and cost of your quilt will be and the cost.

·         If we need to change the size of your quilt, I will work on that with you. Once you give me the OK, I will make your quilt.

Figuring the Cost of a T-shirt Quilt

Pricing includes all materials (interfacing, fabric, batting) labor for preparation, piecing, and free motion edge to edge long-arm quilting. It does not include shipping.

To figure the approximate price of your quilt, use this formula:

The length plus width of the quilt multiplied by a multiplier

If the length + width is __________ the multiplier is 3.6 = _____________

For example a quilt that is 52" x 60" = (52 + 60) = 112 x 3.6= $392.00

	Typical Sizes	Approximate # of T-shirts	Cost
Lap	48" x 48"	15-20	$336.00
Large Lap	52" x 68"	20-30	$420.00
Multi Use Size	60" x 72"	25-35	$462.00
Twin	60" x 84"	30-40	$504.00
Full	84" x 92"	40-50	$616.00
Queen	92" x 100"	50-60	$672.00
King	100" x 112"	60-80	$742.00
Pillow	24" x 24"	4-10	$150.00

If you are planning on adding a border, you will need fewer T-shirts.

The price of a quilt includes the backing material and the return shipping.

I accept checks, money order, and cash (in person. )

All sales final.
