About Too Cool T-shirt Quilts

There Is a Better Way to Make a T-shirt Quilt!

Since 1992, we have innovated and challenged the status quo. 

 

It Began With One Bag of T-shirts in 1992...

From that bag came a quilt that was radically, but simply different from any other T-shirt quilt of the time. 

  • The Blocks were cut to fit the graphics.
  • Iron-on backing wasn’t used to stiffen the T-shirts, so the quilt was soft.
  • No sashing was used in-between the shirts.

From these three major innovations, Too Cool T-shirt Quilts emerged and has grown into a voice challenging the T-shirt quilt world:

“There is a better way to make a T-shirt quilt!”
