Did you know the average runDisney participant wakes up before 3 am four days in a row for the Dopey Challenge? That kind of dedication deserves more than a stack of T-shirts in a box. It deserves a quilt that tells your entire Dopey story.

What Makes Your runDisney T-shirts Different?
You Earned Them!
You didn’t grab these from a store shelf. You earned them mile by mile and blister by blister.- They’re Disney Exclusive
Each shirt is designed for a specific race, year, and challenge. They’re not something you can just order online. - They’re Made with Performance/Tech Fabric
These aren’t basic cotton tees. They’re sleek, slippery tech shirts that wicked away sweat as you ran through Cinderella’s Castle before sunrise. - They’re Badges of Honor
These shirts prove you woke up at 2:30 am for multiple mornings in a row and lived to tell the tale. - They’re Memory Triggers
Each shirt holds the story of that race morning, the characters you high-fived, and the medal clinking around your neck.

These Differences Means That Your T-shirt Quilt Has to Be Different Too!
Too Cool T-shirt Quilts makes runDisney T-shirt Quilts that set the bar for the rest of the industry! And that bar is higher than Disney's Matterhorn Mountain. Why?
Experience
Experience matters in making great T-shirt quilts. We made our first T-shirt quilt back in the early 1990's. We have made more than 12,000 over the years. That's a lot. I don't know how long we have been making runDisney T-shirt quilts for... but our first was well before 2018.
Design
Your quilt needs a designed that is more than just a grid of T-shirts. It needs to be more than just the T-shirts. It needs to be a cohesive look that highlights your T-shirts while having an overall design that is interesting on its own.
Tech Fabric
So many T-shirt quilt makers hate Tech fabric. They say it's too difficult to work with. All this means is that it's difficult to iron-on backing fabric/interfacing to the T-shirts. Iron-on backing fabric makes T-shirt material act more like a stiff cotton - thus making it "easier" to work with. All of that is unnecessary and will make your soft T-shirt stiff.
Here's an article about Tech fabric in T-shirt quilts.
If you are looking for a T-shirt quilt maker, (assuming it's not Too Cool T-shirt Quilts), look for one that doesn't use interfacing. One that has experience using Tech fabric. Here's more about finding a T-shirt quilt maker.
Quilting Designs
Quilting holds the three layers of a quilt together. A quilt without quilting is not a quilt. It's a blanket. Blankets are not what you should want for your T-shirts. Read more about the difference between a quilt and a blanket here.
You want a quilt that has beautiful long-arm quilting highlighting your T-shirts. Read about the different styles of quilting here.
In the example here, the first photo is of the front the quilt with one block highlighted. The second photo shows that we traced the princess from the front and how it shows up on the back of a quilt. This is too cool! And where our name originated.
runDisney T-shirts Should Have Their Own Quilt
Your T-shirts are part of series collections (Princess Half, Star Wars Rival Run, Dopey Challenge). This means that if you have done the race weekend over and over, you should have one quilt made just from your runDisney T-shirt collection. On the other hand, if you have run the race just once and have no plan to ever do the event again, then mixing your runDisney T-shirts in with other race T-shirts is not an issue.
Also, if you have a great collection of runDisney T-shirts, don't mix in one or two other non runDisney related race T-shirts. They just don't belong.
Cost of a T-shirt Quilt
If you have raced runDisney, you know the financial investment: entry fees, travel, hotel, etc. A great T-shirt quilt is also an investment. This is not the place to cut corners on cost. With all that went into your race T-shirts, a cheap T-shirt quilt should be scary. Here's the pricing for a Too Cool T-shirt Quilt. Please note that runDisney quilts are considered under the jersey quilt style.
Conclusion
Your runDisney T-shirts are special. You trained hard, traveled and got up before the crack of dawn too many mornings in a row to earn them.
