T-Shirt Quilt Prices

Custom T-shirt quilts start at $175. Each one is planned around your shirts, the graphics you want to see, and the finished size that makes sense for your home and your story.

Choose the size that fits your story

Some collections are small and focused: a first season on a team, a few concert shirts, or a handful of favorites that deserve to leave the drawer. Others have grown over years of school, tournaments, travel, family milestones, or everyday life. The table below gives you a clear starting point for both.

Shirt counts are approximate because graphics do not all need the same amount of space. A bold front design may deserve a larger panel. A treasured pocket, sleeve logo, or small detail may be worth saving in a different way. Keeping the shirts whole lets Jancy plan around what matters most before any cutting begins.

What your quilt price includes

The base price is the starting point for a handmade quilt built from your own collection of shirts. The most important first step is choosing a size that suits the number of designs you want to preserve. From there, Jancy helps you think through the details that will make the finished quilt feel balanced and personal.

You do not need to solve every layout choice before reserving. The goal is to begin with a clear size range and a few notes about the shirts you care about most. That gives the project a sensible foundation while leaving room for the real collection to guide the final plan.

Personal touches are priced by the detail

A T-shirt quilt can stay simple, or it can include details that make the story easier to recognize at a glance. Optional additions are separate from the base price because they depend on your specific shirts and the amount of work involved. Every addition is confirmed with you before work begins.

• Use the front and back of a shirt, $10 per additional design
• Additional shirt or design, $10 each
• Photo block, $20 each
• Embroidered name, $20
• Embroidered name and dates, $30
• Short embroidered message or quote, starting at $30
• Memory or dedication block, starting at $35
• Specialty fabric border, starting at $40
• Custom arrangement or layout, starting at $50

A custom arrangement can be especially helpful when your shirts span different ages, colors, teams, or types of events. It gives larger graphics space to breathe while allowing smaller but meaningful designs to have a place in the quilt. The finished piece should feel like a collection of memories, not a pile of squares that happened to fit.

Reserve your place with a $50 deposit

A non-refundable $50 deposit reserves a place on Jancy's sewing schedule and is applied to the total price of your quilt. You can choose an approximate size, select any additions you would like to discuss, and share notes about the shirts or the occasion.

Before shirts are cut, Jancy confirms the size, your important design requests, approved additions, and any additional charges. The remaining balance, approved optional features, and applicable shipping charges are due before your completed quilt is shipped or picked up. This gives you a clear path forward without asking you to guess at the details too early.

How to get the most from your quilt

Start by setting aside every shirt that immediately brings a memory to mind. Then mark the ones that cannot be left out. Those might be a senior-year shirt, a favorite jersey, a vacation graphic, a concert design, or a shirt connected to someone you love. Include a few extras, too. Having choices helps the layout come together without forcing every shirt into the same role.

Wash and dry the shirts, but leave them uncut. If both sides of a shirt matter, or a small logo, sleeve, or pocket is important, make a note of it. Jancy can then plan for the details that carry the feeling of the collection, not just the largest graphics.

Not sure which size is right? Reserve your place with the "I'm not sure yet" option. You can begin the conversation first, then choose the size once Jancy has a better picture of your shirts and the quilt you have in mind.

Plan for the quilt you will actually use

A lap or baby size can be a lovely way to preserve a smaller, carefully chosen group of shirts. A throw is a comfortable choice for a sofa or favorite chair. Larger quilts give school years, team seasons, family trips, and long-running collections more room to unfold. Thinking about where the quilt will live can make the size decision much easier than counting shirts alone.

It is also worth considering who will use the quilt. A quilt made for a graduate may become a reminder of the shirts that shaped their school years. A family quilt can bring many shared memories together in one useful piece. A memorial quilt may call for a quieter arrangement that lets a few especially important designs stand out. The size and optional details can support the feeling you want the finished quilt to carry.

You are never locked into a layout simply because you have a certain number of shirts. Bring the collection, identify your favorites, and be honest about what matters most. The best quilt is the one that gives the important parts of your story room to be recognized every time you pull it close.

A clear price starting point lets you spend your energy on the memories, colors, and details that will make the quilt yours.
