Last summer I decided to finally put all of my t-shirts from high school into a quilt. After posting a picture of my finished quilt on Facebook I had people messaging me asking if I would make a custom t-shirt quilt for them! And just like that, Custom T-shirt Quilts By Ashley began!
When it comes to ordering a custom quilt people always want to know three things:
*Price
*Amount of shirts
*How long a quilt takes to make
1.) How much is it going to cost?
Because each quilt is custom, it's hard to know exactly what the cost of each one is going to be! The cost of each quilt really depends on how many hours a quilt takes, the quilting cost, and what fabric the customer is wanting.
Service Fee: $10 per
hour
Average
hours for quilt sizes:
Throw: 10 hours
Queen Size: 10-12 Hours
King Size: 12-15 Hours
Quilting:
**Quilting is dependent on the design of the quilting, and the
size of the quilt $90-120
Fabric Cost: $30 and
up
**Fusible Fabric-Every quilt uses a fusible fabric that keeps
the fabric from stretching. This fabric is around $15 for 6 yards on sale.
**Backing-If you choose not to use t-shirts on the back you will
need a fabric for the backing. This can range dependent on styles. Softer
fabrics, such as fleece and minky are often used for a “comfy” feel!
**Additional Fabric-Many people like columns and rows to
separate the t-shirts.
2.) How many shirts makes a quilt?
It truly depends on how big you want your t-shirt quilt to be! I usually
recommend between 20-25 one-sided t-shirts for a queen quilt!
3.) How long does it take?
I like a period of about a month and a half for
myself, and the quilter!
**I can work around special dates, such as graduation if told
ahead of time!
Here are a examples of quilts that I have made! I am currently on my 20th quilt since starting this journey a year ago!
