All Quilts

Custom memory quilt, adult size with black trim and unique fabric designs.
Unique handmade t-shirt memory quilt for adults with yellow trim and assorted graphic t-shirt patches.

All quilts are thoughtfully constructed with three layers:

  • Top layer: made from your provided clothing

  • Middle layer: made of batting for softness and thickness (polyester blend)

  • Backing layer: made from soft fabric for added comfort.

    • Adult quilts: backed with cozy fleece fabric.

    • Baby quilts: backed with plush minky dot fabric.

    • Please include your preferred backing color when ordering.

All quilt keepsakes include trim finishing for a polished look.

Please note: custom embroidery can be added to any memory quilt to personalize it even further!

Adult Quilts

Adult keepsake quilts are available in three sizes:

  • Small: 4’ x 5’ with 20 squares

  • Medium: 4’ x 6’ with 24 squares

  • Large: 5’ x 6’ with 30 squares

Each square measures 12” x 12”.

Squares can be cut from the front, back, or both sides of each shirt—whichever you want visible. Each side of a shirt makes one square.

For example, if you choose a small quilt with 20 squares and want to use both sides of each shirt, you’ll need to send 10 shirts. But if you only want one side used, you’ll need 20 shirts.

Please check the FAQ section to see which adult clothing items are acceptable for quilts.

Baby Quilts

Baby keepsake quilts are available in three sizes:

  • Small: 30” x 30” with 25 squares

  • Medium: 42” x 42” with 49 squares

  • Large: 48” x 48” with 64 squares

Each square measures 6” x 6”.

To create your quilt, please send the same number of clothing items as the number of squares in your chosen quilt size (for example, a small quilt with 25 squares requires 25 pieces of clothing).

Acceptable clothing items include onesies, sleepers, blankets, t-shirts, and sweaters sized 3 months or larger.
