Too Cool T-shirt Quilts does make pillows from T-shirts. But not just any old T-shirt pillows – we are making pillows that are too cool.
When we began to consider making pillows, we first experimented with turning T-shirts and clothing into pillows. We began, we approached the problem with a number of criteria that we need to meet. These include:
Must be able to use multiple T-shirts- Must be quilted
- The pillow form mustbe removable
- The pillow form must not show
- There needed to be no zipper or buttons involved
- Must be washable
- Must be durable
- And must be in the Too Cool T-shirt Quilts style
After many attempts, we have developed a pillow that met all of the above criteria.
T-shirt Pillows
T-shirt pillows are great if you don’t have enough T-shirts for a T-shirt quilt or if you have more T-shirts than you need for the size quilt you want. We also think that T-shirt pillows will make great gifts because they are less expensive than quilts and require fewer T-shirts. Think coaches, teachers and friends. Here's the basic information about pillows.
- 1 to 10 T-shirts. The actual number of T-shirts needed will depend on the design(s) on the T-shirts.
- Size 24" x 24". We selected this size because it is large enough to let us use a numbers of T-shirts.
- Fully quilted like our T-shirts quilts. We felt it very important that our pillows match our quilts.

- Size 24" x 24".
- Fully quilted like our T-shirts quilts
Pricing
The pricing of a pillow is much less than for one of our quilts because there are a number of steps that we don't have to do for a pillow that we do have to do for a quilt. For example, we don't have to do a three different steps in the layout and design that we do for a quilt.
We also don't have to add backing fabric into the pricing of a pillow because we are able to long-arm quilt a pillow at the bottom of another quilt. Since you don't see the inside of the pillow, the backing color we use does not matter.
