A box of race shirts, team jerseys or a parent's clothing turns into one thing that gets used instead of twenty that do not. The shops here make quilts from clothing you send them. Count your shirts before calling: the number of blocks sets the finished size, and most makers work from a grid — roughly 20 shirts for a throw, 30 or more for a bed quilt.

Good to know
How much does a t-shirt quilt cost?
Commonly $200-400 for a throw and $400-800 for a bed-sized quilt, depending on block count, backing and whether it is quilted edge-to-edge or custom. Prices are usually quoted per block or per finished size once the maker sees the pile.
How many t-shirts do you need for a quilt?
About 12-20 shirts make a throw, 30-42 a queen. Only the printed area is used, so a large front-and-back print can yield two blocks while a small pocket logo may need backing fabric around it.
How long does a memory quilt take?
Six to twelve weeks is typical, longer near the holidays and graduation season. Anyone promising a week is either very small-batch or already has your shirts cut, so ask about the queue when you book rather than after.
