While T-Shirt Quilts of Texas would love to make a custom t-shirt quilt for you, sometimes you just gotta do it yourself! We have made thousands of T-Shirt Quilts over the last 10 years, and have pretty much seen the good and the bad in t-shirt quilt making.
You've seen lots of images when doing a Google or Pinterest search. We'll walk you through the basic steps. We have found that keeping it simple usually works best.
There are two major styles of T-Shirt quilts. What I refer to as 'Order' and 'Chaos'. OK, that seems like an extreme comparison, but let's look at the difference between order and chaos as pertains to t-shirt quilts.
First of all, I grew up looking at quilts that two of my great-grandmothers and my grandmother made or were working on. In high school, my favorite classes were geometry, accounting, physics and silver-smithing (I went to a great high-school - we also had archery and canoeing as phys-ed options). I was a computer programmer in the corporate world. I like lists. I like to read Science Fiction. OK, yeah, I am a geek. But, all of these studies involve science and ORDER. So, how does that pertain to quilts you ask??
Rather than looking for a 'local' t-shirt quilt maker - lets figure out whether you are getting a quilt or a blanket.
