T-shirt Blankets are quick and easy if you want something fast, cheaper, and light. 

These blankets are very comparable to Project Repats blankets.

A T-shirt blanket (often called a T-shirt quilt) is a functional keepsake made by sewing together the graphics from old T-shirts. It’s essentially a "memory quilt" that turns a drawer full of sentimental clutter into a cozy, usable piece of home decor.

 

Here is a breakdown of what makes them unique:

The Construction

  • The "Blocks": Each shirt is cut into a square or rectangle, usually focusing on the logo or graphic.

  • Interfacing: Since T-shirt fabric (jersey knit) is stretchy, a thin layer of non-stretch fabric called "interfacing" is ironed onto the back of each piece. This keeps the blanket from warping or pulling out of shape.

  • The Backing: The front is the collage of shirts, while the back is typically made of a cotton blend fabric.

What are the main differences between a blanket and a quilt?

1. There is NO batting (soft layer) between the top and the bottom

2. No quilting (stitching on the top design)

3. More "budget-friendly" option

4. Less wait time than the quilt. 

NOTE: There are some restrictions to the T-shirt blanket.

Design: Checkered/Block style (no borders) only

Sizes: Memento, Throw and Twin Sizes only

Time frame: These are easily made from June to October and January to March.

Sadly, I can not make these in November/December OR April/May (Graduation and Christmas).

    T-shirt blankets last 5-10 years depending on how it is used. I cannot guarantee the timeframe of how long blankets will last.
