I offer two unique styles of t-shirt quilts to fit your vision: Gallery Style and Collage Style. Whether you prefer the clean symmetry of a grid layout or the creative freedom of a freestyle design, both options are made with the same care, quality materials, and expert craftsmanship.
Use the descriptions below to find the style that best tells your story.
Gallery-Style Quilts
Gallery-style quilts feature a sleek, modern design that showcases your shirts in clean, uniform blocks, highlighting their style and elegance. Each block is cut to the same size and arranged in a grid pattern, resulting in a polished and cohesive appearance. Great for Graduation gifts, sports memories, marathon shirts, and curated shirt collections. See: Gallery Style Quilt examples.
What’s Included:
- Uniform 12”x12” blocks (or custom size if needed)
- Optional sashing and border fabric
- Premium cotton or flannel backing
- Longarm quilting in your choice of pattern
- Machine binding for a durable finish

No two collage quilts are ever the same! Great for Memorial quilts, kids’ clothing quilts, travel t-shirts, or anyone who wants a one-of-a-kind keepsake. See: Collage Style Quilt examples
