At Quilts by Big Wes, we turn old t-shirts into something new and meaningful. T-shirt quilts aren’t just cozy keepsakes. They’re memory maps. Every shirt in your quilt tells a story; together, they become a visual timeline of your life.
Maybe it’s your high school band tee, first 5K race shirt, or the faded college hoodie you wore until it practically fell apart. These aren’t just clothes—they’re moments. And t-shirt quilts give those moments a second life.
Why Upcycle T-Shirts Into a Quilt?
Most of us have a pile of t-shirts we’ll never wear again but can’t entirely throw away. Whether it’s nostalgia or just the comfort of remembering, those shirts sit in drawers for years. Turning them into a quilt brings them out of hiding and into daily use. It’s functional, sustainable, and deeply personal.
How It Works at Quilts by Big Wes
We don’t just cut and sew when you send us your shirts. We prep each piece by hand, backing it with stabilizer to prevent stretching, and work with you to choose the right layout, colors, and design. Every quilt is custom-made, and every stitch is intentional.
We also specialize in combining more than just T-shirts. Hoodies, jerseys, denim, flannels, uniforms—we’ve worked with it all. Some customers even send baby clothes, graduation caps, or pieces of a loved one’s wardrobe. These quilts become heirlooms.
T-Shirt Quilts Are for Everyone
We’ve made quilts for athletes, artists, teachers, parents, and graduates. Whether it’s a gift or something just for you, it’s always one of a kind. No two stories are the same, and no two quilts should be, either.
