We like this quilt because it’s purple. But, it’s not just purple; it’s a monochromatic color scheme. It uses purple with black, white, and grey. It makes for a very cohesive quilt.
This is a great example of a quilt that doesn't have a border.
This is a celebration of the students high school years. As such, only high school T-shirts are in the quilt. You can also include T-shirts from early childhood and middle school.

Who’d have thought that one of our favorite T-shirt quilts would be made out of Resort wear linen shirts? This is a memorial quilt that celebrated a husband and father’s love of Tommy Bahama.

This quilt was a Christmas gift for a solider who was serving oversea. The soldier’s wife had us make this from his favorite run – The Army Ten Miler.
The inside of this quilt is all white, so the graphics become the color you see. If you look closely at the border, you’ll notice it’s made from his BDUs. We included his name, pockets and an American flag. The border helps explain the interior of the quilt.
Thank you for your service, we hope you enjoy your epic quilt.

MEOW! This is a theme quilt highlighting the artwork of famed cat artist Bernard "Hap" Kliban.
This quilt has a lot of “front and back” T-shirts. On the front of the T-shirt you see the front of the cat. On the back of the T-shirt, you see the same cat from the back. I am sure you have seen these T-shirts before. When making quilts with T-shirts like these, the artist needs to carefully separate the two parts of the T-shirt. How many “Front/Back” T-shirts can you find in this quilt?
The back of this quilt is just as cool as the front because of all the intricate and detailed tracings our quilter did.
