A memory quilt is a special keepsake created from cherished clothing items to celebrate milestones or loved ones, or to repurpose old clothes.
How to start the Memory Quilt Process
To reserve your spot, a $100 deposit is required (applied to the final price). You can bring your items for us to finalize the design, or we can handle everything online.
Memory quilts can include t-shirts, sweatshirts, sports jerseys, and more. We’ll work together on design details such as colors, backing fabric, and personalization.
We’ll collaborate to finalize design details, including:
Colors you’d like to include
Backing fabric
Personalization options, such as layout, names, quotes, favorite sayings, or anything else you envision
Quilting can be customized to fit your vision. We’ll sew the top, batting, and backing layers together to create your quilt.
Once approved, you’ll receive the final price (minus the deposit). Payment is due before pickup or shipping. I’ll take care of piecing, backing, longarm quilting, and binding, delivering a quilt you’ll cherish forever or gift!
Let’s Talk Honey
My pricing is based on the number of “pieces” used in your quilt.
{1 piece = 1 front or back of a shirt, or a printed shirt sleeve or chest logo} The price varies depending on the quilt style, layout, and additional fabric used.
Each piece costs between $22 and $25. For example, a quilt with 12 pieces would cost 12 x $25 = $300 (discounts apply for 20 or more pieces).
For 20 pieces: $400-$475
For 25 pieces: $500-$625
For 30 pieces: $650-$700
Let’s Talk Process
Why does it cost so much to make a quilt? Once you gather your meaningful T-shirts or clothing items, we will meet or you will ship them to me. Then, I start the process:
Rough cut each shirt to remove the sleeves, neck, and back of the shirt
Stabilize fabric with a fusible fabric to prevent stretching
Then, center and cut the shirt designs into uniform squares
Arrange layout for a balanced, cohesive look
Decide on accent fabric in between each square
Sew squares (and fabric) together to create the quilt top
Choose the quilt backing
Quilt the three layers (top, batting, backing) together on a longarm quilt machine
Finish with binding for a polished, long-lasting keepsake
