a chart and pinning numbers to your shirts. You can also pick

Question
- What material are the borders and back?
Answer - The borders and back are made from a cotton/poly
blend that is both shrink and run resistant.
Question
- Are the quilts "quilted"?
Answer - The face of the quilt (your shirts and
the borders) is attached to the batting along all the border seams
with machine stitching. The three layers are then tacked at the
corners of each shirt.
Question
- How big are the panels?
Answer - Our regular panels are finished to 12"
x 12". They are cut bigger than that to allow for the sewing.
However, some collections of shirts have very big logos. When
that is the case we use oversized panels that are finished to
14" x 14".

Question
- Do you have gift certificates?
Answer - Yes and you can order one by contacting
us via phone, mail or EMail!
Question

Answer - No. The back of the quilt is made from
a solid color fabric. The expense of putting shirts on both the
back and front is more than the cost of two quilts.

Question
- How should I choose border and back colors?
Answer - Choose the colors from the list on the order
blank. Most people ask us to choose because it is easier for us
to decide once the shirts are cut and laid out. It is a good idea
to say "the quilt is for a young man" or "I hate pink", etc.
Question
- Should I wash the shirts before sending them?
Answer - Yes! Shirts that have been washed are less
likely to run or shrink when you wash the finished quilt.
Question
- How do I wash my quilt?
Answer - The quilts are machine stitched and the
fabrics are shrink and run resistant so you can machine wash and
machine dry your quilt. However, most quilts are too big. Also,
be aware that your t-shirts may run or shrink.
