T-shirt Quilt Details | The Best of
Each December I go through photos of the T-shirt quilts we made over the past 12 months. The photograph below shows some of the quilts we made in 2021. There are a lot of them! And there are even more than are shown here in this thumbnail shot of them. 
It's so difficult to choose which quilts to include in the Best T-shirt Quilts of 2021. This year I have chosen 50 some-odd quilts and pillows to share with you. I just couldn't decide. This is a lot of quilts to look at all at once. So, I will break this into 4 parts.
This second group of awesome quilts we made in 2021 is theme T-shirt quilts.
Theme T-shirt Quilt Examples
Chicago Bears Football T-shirt Quilt
Style: Regular
Border: 4" pieced border
Size: 80" x 96" This is in the full size range.
The pennants in each corner add a special pizzazz to this quilt. This makes for such a great looking quilt.
If you have pennants you would like to include in your quilt, just send them in with your T-shirts.
Gas and Oil T-shirt Quilt
Style: Regular
Border: None
Size: 92 x 100 - Queen size.
Gas and Oil memorable. If you have ever watch any TV show or YouTube channel about antiques, you have heard about "Gas & Oil."
This quilt is all about gas, oil and the car culture. It's a blast!
I enjoy looking through the quilt to see how many logos I recognize. Not all, but a lot!
runDisney T-shirt Quilt
Style: Regular
Border: None
Size: 92 x 100
runDisney is a series of running races that are put on a different Disney theme parks around the world.
At each race is held over 4 days. You can choose to run a 5K, 10K, half marathon and/or a marathon. You can choose to run one or all of those distances.
If you run one distance, you will get one T-shirt. If you run two distances, you will get three T-shirts. One T-shirt for each race and one for the race combination.
If you run all 4 distances, you can end up with over 5 T-shirts! This is perfect for a T-shirt quilt.
The Who T-shirt Quilt
Style: Regular
Border: This is a special border - 3" + 3" + 3" solid border.
Size: 82 x 94 - This is a non standard size.
This customer is a huge The Who fan.
We designed this special border to mimic the colors and design of their logo. The logo is a circle bulls eye with royal blue on the outside and a red center.
You can find this logo throughout the quilt.
I think that this is a perfect border for this quilt.

Mermaid T-shirt Quilt
Style: Regular
Border: None
Size: 100 x 112 - King size
This quilt is all about mermaids. Who knew there were so many different mermaid designs you could get on a T-shirt.
We started having fun with this quilt as soon as we realized that all the T-shirts had mermaid on them.
We also had a blast long-arm quilting the quilts. I traced so many different mermaids.
Below is a video of us quilting this quilt.
Star Wars T-shirt Quilt
Style: Regular
Border: 2" solid
Size: 60 x 72 Multi Use Size
This is one of three Star Wars T-shirt quilts we made for one family.
I remember going to that first Star Wars movie in the summer of 1977. We heard that there would someday be 9 movies. Glad to live long enough to seen that someday.
This and the other two quilts in this series are an awesome representation of all those movies.
Cystic Fibrosis T-shirt Quilt
Style: Regular
Border: None
Size: 92 x 100 - Queen size
This quilt was made by a grandmother for her granddaughter. The granddaughter has cystic fibrosis. These are her T-shirts from the events she attended.
They wanted the quilt for a queen size bed, but they did not have enough T-shirts. To compensate, we added in black T-shirt material in the cystic fibrosis colors. Looks great!

Life is Good T-shirt Quilt
Style: Regular
Border: 4" pieced
Size: 60 x 84 - Twin size
On every Life Is Good T-shirt, there are two small logos. A smiley face at the center back of the T-shirt, up by the neck. The other is a little tag on the left hand bottom of the T-shirt.
We used all those little logos and tags to make the border of this quilt.
I love this border because it matches the inside of the quilt. And the border is about the quilt.
Mario T-shirt Quilt
Style: Regular
Border: None
Size: 60 x 68 This is 4" shorter than our Multi Use Size.
This is a visually cohesive quilt. And the topic is cohesive.
This quilt is perfect to snuggle up in while playing Super Mario.
Harry Potter T-shirt Quilt
Style: Regular
Border: 2" solid
Size: 64 x 76 This is 4" wider and longer than our Multi Use Size quilt.
Harry Potter. Do I need to say more?
Docker T-shirt Quilt
Style: Regular
Border: 4" solid
Size: 60 x 72 Multi Use Size
Docker is a software company for developing software applications. The rest is over my head.
But they have a cute logo and a great color scheme. And this translated into a very nice T-shirt quilt.
I love how the light blue in the border ties the rest of the quilt together through the logos in so many of the T-shirts. This is a very awesome quilt.
Fishing T-shirt Quilt
Style: Regular
Border: 2" solid
Size: 84 x 92 Full Size
This fishing themed T-shirt quilt has many different types of fabrics. There were nylon jackets, tech fabric, sun protection shirts as well as T-shirts.
We can mix and match any types of machine washable materials.
I love the colors of this quilt. They are so relaxing. (haha)
