1. These quilts make great graduation and going away
gifts for students.
2. I can use the fronts or backs of t-shirts or both.
3. I can combine several small designs into one block.
This includes sleeves and pockets.
4. Turn around time is 6-8 weeks, depending on my current
schedule.
5. I can use sweat shirts to make squares.
6. You may provide your own fabric for backing and
sashing. You may also meet me at my favorite fabric store and we will shop
together.
7. The cost for fabric usually runs between 20 and 40
dollars depending on the size of the quilt and the price of the yardage.
8. I add shipping charges for out of town orders.
Shipping usually runs less than $20.00. If you would like to ship the shirts
to my studio address please contact me.
9. Out of town orders will be returned C. O. D.
10. If you have shirts with a lot of different background
colors, a solid color border is usually best.
11. If you have mostly gray and white shirts, a small
print border works well with a solid color backing.
12. If there is a large print fabric you especially like
it will do well as the backing with a small print or solid border around the
shirts.
13. Choose the color you like best for the fabric
choices. It will be evenly distributed throughout the quilt and will tie all
the shirts together. Somehow it always just works.
14. I always pre-wash the fabrics to avoid shrinking
later. I also add a little vinegar to the wash to avoid fading later.
15. The quilts are as washable as the fabric and shirts
you provide to me. Most do just fine in the washer and dryer as long as you
don’t let them sit in the wash waiting for the dryer.
16. Older shirts that are becoming thin and worn actually
do really well in the quilt because of the backing I put on the squares.
17. I can repair small holes in your shirts. The repair
is priced the same as reconfigured squares.
