T-shirt Quilt Border Styles

We have a number of different options and styles of borders that you can choose to add to your quilt. The styles are described with photographs below.

We are frequently asked if a border will increase the size of a quilt. And the answer is yes and no.

Yes, it will increase the size of your quilt if you add a border to a set number of T-shirts. For example, if your T-shirts will make a quilt that is 52 x 64 without a border, if we add a border, it will make the quilt larger.

No, it will not increase the size of a quilt if you plan on making a quilt which size includes a border. If you want a quilt that is 52 x 64 with a border, then adding the border will not make the quilt larger. But, that border will make the inside of your quilt smaller. If you add a 2" border to a quilt that is 52 x 64, the quilt will remain 52 x 64. The inside T-shirt part will be smaller. In this case, the T-shirts can only be 48 x 60. The larger the border, the smaller the inside of the quilt.

The prices below is the cost of that size quilt with the border.

Remember if you are planning on adding a border, you will need fewer T-shirts. The larger the border, the fewer the number of T-shirts you will need.
Please note that the border and the binding are two separate items. Every quilt has a binding that goes around the entire quilt. The border is part of the quilt top.
