graduation shadow quiltGraduating from high school or college is a milestone worthy of celebration and creating a personalized T-shirt quilt from all those saved shirts, jackets, uniforms and more is a heartfelt way to commemorate the journey. Crafting your graduation quilt with The Unlimited Stitch involves careful consideration of both budget and the end use of the quilt. Here are the top three tips to guide you through the process:

  1. Balancing Affordability and Craftsmanship for Different Sizes: Consider the final use of your quilt and how it aligns with your budget. The Unlimited Stitch can create a lap-sized quilt for a more budget-friendly option, perfect for cozying up on the couch. If you have a bit more to spend, opt for a larger throw blanket size for added warmth. For those looking to make a statement, discuss specific bedspread dimensions to ensure your quilt becomes a centerpiece in your room without exceeding your budget.

  2. Prioritize Meaningful Shirts: When working with a budget, prioritize the most meaningful shirts to you. Choose T-shirts from unforgettable events, significant achievements, or those with sentimental value. The Unlimited Stitch's expert guidance will help you make strategic choices, ensuring your quilt remains affordable while capturing the essence of your academic journey.
