Non-traditional: This style is with other blocks alternating with shirt blocks or putting them together like a puzzle with different size blocks.

Please contact me for a consultation and custom quote.
To commission your quilt:
A 50% deposit is required to start your quilt, send freshly laundered shirts(no fabric softener in washer or dryer as it will keep stabilizer from adhering), sending a few extras (unused shirts will be returned). I don't recommend including shirts that the logo/design is peeling off or damaged. DO NOT cut the shirts apart, please send them whole. Will give shipping instructions at time of commission.
If you live within driving distance of the studio please email to schedule an appointment.
