Cost of a T-shirt Quilt with Border

2020 T-shirt Quilt with Border Pricing

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 include the size of the border when plan your quilt. Let's look at an example:

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. That is, the T-shirt part of the quilt will be smaller.

In this case, the T-shirt area will be be 48 x 60. Then, adding the 2" border to all four sides, the final quilt will remain 52 x 64.

So, after deciding what final size you want your quilt to be, if you add a border to that size, t-shirt area will be smaller by the width of the border on each side.

**Keep in mind that, the wider the border, the fewer number of T-shirts needed for your Quilt.**

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. Read more about the difference between a border and a binding here.
