Raggy T-Shirt Quilts | Custom Expandable Memory Quilts

Our Raggy Style Quilts are the perfect combination of heirloom-quality keepsake and everyday throw blanket. This style is especially popular for graduation gifts, sports shirt quilts, milestone celebrations, and any occasion where your quilt will truly get used.

The raggy quilt stands out for its unique raw-edge design, which not only adds a casual, textured look but also allows quilts to grow over time — you can add new shirts or garments as your memories continue to accumulate.

How Raggy Quilts Are Made

1. Cutting Your Squares

   • Shirts, jerseys, or other fabrics are cut into uniform squares (size varies depending on quilt size).

   • Unlike traditional quilts, the raw edges are left exposed, creating the signature raggy texture after washing and finishing.

2. Layout & Design

   • Squares are arranged for color, pattern, and balance.

   • Larger graphics or logos can be centered for visual impact, making this style ideal for sports teams, graduation shirts, or any statement piece.

3. Sewing & Raggy Finish

   • Squares are quilted with an X shape with fleece then the squares are sewn together with raw edges facing out.

   • After washing, the edges fray naturally, producing a soft, textured finish unique to each quilt.

   • This design makes it easy to add new clothing squares later if you want to expand the quilt over time.

4. Final Touches

   • No two raggy quilts look exactly alike — each is completely unique and made to be loved, displayed, and used daily.
