Quilts take from 4 – 8 weeks depending on the complexity, size of quilt, and number of garments to be included.  Work will begin on your quilt as soon as we receive your materials and deposit.

We can easily communicate via phone and email. You can send your fabric and materials to us, and once they have arrived, we can consult by phone or email. If we have questions during the quilt design or construction phase, we will contact you.

Yes, visit our studio in Wisconsin to see your quilt as it is constructed, or we can email photos to you. We can make small changes during the design phase per your preferences.

Yes, simply print the order form, fill it out and email it to us as a pdf attachment.  We can discuss details and questions by email or phone.  Your down-payment can be made via Zelle, or a personal check included with materials sent to us.

Our quilts range from $45 for a Kinder Square to $1200. You will receive a cost estimate when you submit your order form.  

We hope that by working closely with you, your quilt is designed and constructed to your satisfaction. There are no refunds or returns on custom quilts. We will be happy to make repairs within 30 days of receipt by client.

Quilt measurements are listed on the order form. These are standard sizes that can be customized to your needs. You can make sure the quilt is the right size by measuring your bed or giving us the measurements of a quilt you have and use.

People like to cuddle with lap size quilts, and with larger quilts, people like to use them as bed quilts or bedspreads. Any quilt can be used as a wall hanging, with a hanging sleeve sewn onto the quilt back. No matter where your quilt is used, it’s strongly recommended to keep it out of direct sunlight.

Complete washing and cleaning instructions are included with each quilt. Most quilts are washable with a sheet of Shout^® Color Catcher and cold water.

It is possible to include all types of fabric from silk tie to t-shirt to denim work pants to flannel shirts in your Memorial Quilt. If the quilt will be used and washed frequently, select fabrics and clothing that can withstand frequent washings. If the quilt will be hung or displayed, more delicate fabrics can be used.

Almost any fabric can be incorporated into a quilt. Wall hangings offer the greatest possibility for including unusual items like buttons, medals and ribbons.

Once you have decided on the finished size of your quilt, try laying your shirts and garments out. If using both sides of a t-shirt, this will count as 2 shirts; allow for this in your layout. When you are boxing up your shirts, indicate with a safety pin or post-it note which are the most important garments and we will work to keep them centrally positioned. 

Most of our quilts are long-arm quilted in an overall quilting pattern of your choosing. When we are discussing your quilt, I’ll give you several quilting templates to choose from. Custom Quilting is available as an upgrade.

You supply your cleaned and laundered shirts and garments. We provide 100% cotton fabric for the quilt back, border and binding. Stabilizer for t-shirts and quilt batting are also included in your price. Special requests for different fabric will be accommodated as an upgrade.

If requested, we can send you the left-over scraps along with your finished quilt.

Yes, denim can be included. If the denim is heavy weight, we use smaller pieces of it.

NO! Please do not cut any of your shirts! We will take care of all cutting and stabilizing of your shirts.

Yes! We can customize the cotton fabric used in quilt back, border and binding to your preferences. 

Your color preferences and the predominant color of the quilt pieces will determine the color and print of the fabric used.

Several products are available for you to transfer your photos to fabric. You may include your fabric photo with your materials as you send them in.

Yes, we will do the transfer to white 100% cotton fabric for you, see Order Form for price.

A resolution of at least 600 DPI jpeg is recommended. OR you can mail actual photos to us; we will scan them and return the originals to you.

Either works well. B & W lends a historic feel, color adds the touch of today.
