Our Most Popular & Timeless Keepsake Quilt

The Block Style T-Shirt Quilt is our most popular and straightforward quilt option. This classic design features uniform t-shirt blocks sewn directly together, creating a clean, traditional layout that highlights your favorite shirts, logos, and memories.

This style is ideal for graduations, memorial quilts, sports shirts, milestones, and everyday keepsake blankets. Its simple construction makes it a timeless choice that will be loved and used for years.


How the Block Style Quilt Is Made

1. Shirt Preparation & Stabilization

Each shirt is carefully prepared and reinforced with fusible interfacing to stabilize the fabric and ensure long-term durability while preserving softness.

2. Cutting Uniform Blocks

  • Shirts are typically cut into 13" x 13" squares, resulting in 12" x 12" finished blocks.

  • This uniform sizing creates a clean, balanced quilt that keeps graphics and designs centered and easy to see.

3. Layout & Design Approval

  • Shirt blocks are arranged with color balance and visual flow as the top priority.

  • If you have a specific layout request, we are happy to accommodate it.

  • Layout photos are sent for approval before sewing begins.

4. Sewing & Quilting

  • Blocks are sewn directly together to create the quilt top.

  • For fleece-backed quilts, we use a simple and durable quilting method called “stitch in the ditch,” quilting along the seams between blocks in clean straight lines.

5. Backing & Binding

  • Quilts are backed with your choice of high-quality no-pill fleece or cotton fabric.

  • A handmade cotton binding is added around the edges to finish the quilt and provide a polished, cohesive look.

Preparing Your Shirts

  • Most machine-washable shirts and garments can be used.

  • Please wash and dry all items before shipping or drop-off.

  • You may cut shirts up the side seams and send only the portion you’d like used, but this is optional — we’re happy to cut them for you.

  • If shirts are damaged or need light mending, we can take care of that as part of the process.

  • Include notes if you’d like backs, sleeves, or additional areas used.
