What makes our quilts special?
The difference between a high quality t-shirt quilt and a standard t-shirt blanket lies in the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into making each one.
A standard t-shirt blanket is typically made by simply cutting out squares or rectangles from old t-shirts and sewing them together to create a basic blanket. These blankets often lack a cohesive design or theme and may be made with low-quality materials and basic sewing techniques.
On the other hand, a high quality t-shirt quilt is a handcrafted piece of art that is carefully designed and crafted to preserve your memories in a functional and beautiful way. A skilled artisan arranges the t-shirts into a visually stunning layout, taking into consideration color, design, and the unique details of each shirt. They select the highest quality fabrics and batting to complement and enhance the design of the quilt. The quilt is then sewn with precision and attention to detail using professional quilting machines to ensure its longevity as an heirloom piece.
How are our quilts priced?
A custom t-shirt quilt typically costs more than a t-shirt blanket due to the level of expertise, time, and materials involved in its creation.
To make a high-quality t-shirt quilt, we spend a significant amount of time handcrafting the quilt to your specific design and preferences. We take care to cut the t-shirts in a way that preserves each design element, and then carefully arrange them in a visually appealing layout. This process can take many hours to complete, depending on the size and complexity of the quilt.
Additionally, a custom t-shirt quilt is made with higher quality materials and professional-grade sewing techniques. The quilt top and backing fabric are typically made from high-quality materials that are designed to last for many years. The batting used for the quilt is often a high-quality material that provides warmth and durability, while also allowing the quilt to drape and fold nicely. Finally, each of our custom t-shirts quilts are carefully quilted using a professional longarm quilting machine, with an edge to edge quilting design.
All of these factors contribute to the higher cost of a custom t-shirt quilt compared to a t-shirt blanket. While a t-shirt blanket can be a more affordable option, a custom t-shirt quilt offers a more polished and professional-looking finished product that will preserve your memories for many years to come.
