When I started creating custom quilts for people in the Atlanta area, I wanted to offer something truly unique – combining beauty, sustainability, and personal meaning. That’s how I fell in love with making mosaic quilts from upcycled fabrics. These quilts don’t just keep you warm; they tell a story, one fabric scrap at a time.
So, what is a mosaic quilt? Think of it as a patchwork quilt taken to the next level. Mosaic quilts use small, irregular pieces of fabric arranged to create a pattern or image, much like the tiles in a mosaic. The result is stunning – a quilt that’s vibrant, textured, and rich with detail. It’s like an artistic collage but made entirely of fabric.
For me, creating mosaic quilts is like assembling memories. Many of my customers bring me old t-shirts, baby clothes, or garments from loved ones, which I transform into one-of-a-kind quilts. These are often called memory quilts, and for good reason. Each fabric carries a story, whether it’s a concert tee from your college days or a flannel shirt your dad always wore. With a mosaic quilt, those stories come together to create something new and beautiful—something you can cherish forever.
The process is highly collaborative and deeply personal. First, we’ll review your fabrics and discuss the vision for your quilt. Do you want a bold, geometric design? Or maybe something softer and more organic? Whether it’s a t-shirt quilt with your favorite logos or a patchwork of sentimental fabrics, I’ll work with you to bring your ideas to life.
What I love most about making these quilts is how sustainable they are. Upcycling old clothes into a custom quilt not only reduces waste but also gives your fabrics a second life. And if you’re in the Atlanta area, you can drop off your materials and even see some of my completed quilts in person. There’s something special about knowing your quilt was made locally, with care and attention to detail.
A mosaic quilt isn’t just a blanket; it’s a piece of art, a keepsake, and a way to honor the memories woven into your fabrics.
