Winter

January and February are our slowest months. This means that our turn around times are faster than average. And that you will still have time to snuggle under your quilt while it is cold.

Graduation

It is time to start working on your graduation quilt. Starting in March, we become very busy with graduation quilts. If your gradation is early (May) we need to get going on your quilt soon. If you have a later graduation (June), then you have a little more time, but don't wait too long.

Should I tell my graduate about her quilt?

One of the main questions we hear about graduation quilt is, "should I tell my graduate about her quilt before it is made?"

Reasons to talk about the quilt before of sending the T-shirts:

Reasons not to tell your graduate about the quilt ahead of time:

What ever direction you choose, your graduate will be wowed by her quilt. If you would like to talk about the quilt ahead of time and still have it a surprise, you can tell your graduate that you would like to do something with her T-shirts and ask for her input about which shirts and what colors she likes. She still will be surprised and crazy over her quilt. Some parents show their kids this web site and others just talk about a project in general.

Also, if you have younger children, they won't be surprised about their quilt - they will be excepting it. And watch out - they will hoard T-shirt. They will say, "Mom I need two - one to wear and one for my quilt."  Don't laugh - generally each successive child has a larger quilt or more quilt than the proceeding child. In one family, the first child had one quilt, the second two, the third three and the last child, well we have already made him one and he is just 10.

Sorority Quilts

If you were in a Sorority, you may have a lot of T-shirts from that period that you don't wear any more but that you just can't part with. A sorority T-shirt quilt is a perfect solution!  One advantage of a Too Cool T-shirt Quilt is that we can use the front pockets on your T-shirts in your quilt. You don't have to give up the front of your T-shirt!

Make it Yourself!

Too Cool T-shirt Quilts are fun to make - we have a great job! If you have quilting or sewing experience, you might want to make a T-shirt quilt yourself. Andrea Funk has written a book about how to make a Too Cool T-shirt Quilt.  Making a quilt yourself might be for you. We also offer long arm machine quilting services for quilt tops made with the Too Cool method.

Oops -  My T-shirts have already been cut...

You have always wanted a T-shirt quilt... and at some point you or someone you know started the project. But now you know that it will never be done unless someone else finishes it. Can Too Cool T-shirt Quilts finish it? YES WE CAN.

Please browse through our web site to learn about our quilts and
how to have one made with your T-shirts.
