Inspirations: Which memories do you want to hold on to?
Your custom t-shirt quilt can be made from almost any t-shirt or sweatshirt that holds sentimental value to you. Some limitations may apply regarding the size of the shirt or the size of its design. Specifically, each design is centered within a 15" square while the smaller logos are centered within a 5" square. The following are examples of themes that various quilts have incorporated:
❖ High school sports jerseys or activities
❖ Youth group events, retreats or camps
❖ Fraternity or sorority shirts
❖ College activities and involvements
❖ Road races or triathlons
❖ Family reunions
❖ Vacation destinations
❖ Sports jerseys over the years
❖ Favorite sports team (i.e. Braves, UGA)
❖ Church programs, retreats or mission trips
❖ Life quilt: pick out shirts that represent the things in your life that are important
Below is an example of a life quilt created recently as a gift for a high school graduate. It includes items beginning from the owner's infancy up through now. The baby items include a monogrammed bib, monogrammed sweatshirt, and two tiny hand prints painted onto a t-shirt many years ago. The quilt also displays several Boy Scout t-shirts as well as pieces of the owner's actual Cub Scout uniform sewn into the sashing. There are shirts from various schools, camps, leadership recognitions, and church activities. It is a beautiful compilation of many special events that shaped this young man's life. It is an excellent present for him to take to the University of Kentucky where he will be attending in the Fall.
