Arches - David-1A Fresh Curve in Ultra Modern Quilt Design

Here at Too Cool T-shirt Quilts, we don’t just follow trends—we bend them. First, we broke the grid with our signature Puzzle style. Then, we added drama with our stained-glass puzzle quilts, using bold lines to make every block pop.

Now, we’re adding curves to the mix with a new Ultra Modern design: The Arch Style T-shirt Quilt.


 

What Makes the Arch Style T-shirt Quilt Unique?


This design starts with a grid of overlapping circles—like a network of interlocking arches. Each T-shirt is cut to follow the curves, creating a layout that’s structured yet full of movement.

The magic is in the balance: you see the T-shirts, and you see the arches—but neither one steals the spotlight. It’s a subtle, modern pattern that adds flow and rhythm to your quilt without overpowering your shirts.



Could the Arch Style Work for Your T-shirts?

ArchesMost likely, yes. If your shirts have a mix of designs, colors, and sizes, this layout can be a stunning fit. Want a second opinion? Just reach out—we’ll let you know if the Arch style is a good match for your set.

What to Know Before Ordering an Arch Style T-shirt Quilt

This style plays well with a lot of different T-shirt collections, but here are a few things that help it really shine:

  • Graphic Variety: The layout calls for both large and small blocks, so it helps if your T-shirts have a mix of graphic sizes.

  • Color Range: A variety of T-shirt colors will make the arches more noticeable and add dimension to the quilt.

You don’t need a perfect collection—just enough variety to let the curves do their thing.
