Hummingbird Hill Quilting

Have mountains of T-shirts that you've gathered from school?  Vacations?  Concerts? Camp?

Now here is something that you can do with them! 

Have them turned into a quilt so that you can wrap yourself in memories and reclaim your dresser!

Above is an example of a free-style setting. This style is what I call mosaic, where many shirt motifs of varying sizes are joined together in collage-like fashion.

In the freestyle quilt to the right, motifs of various sizes are set apart by sashing.

Hummingbird Hill Quilting offers an all-inclusive package for your T-shirt Memory Quilt.  

One price includes all materials, fabric, machine quilting, sashing, cotton batting, and binding to complete  your t-shirt theme quilt.

Sample of traditional setting without sashing. This quilt features two borders. 

Non-traditional blocks & settings are also available for your custom made T-shirt quilt.

Traditionally set  T-shirt Quilts are priced as follows and based on a non-pieced block, cut at 15". Piecing multiple shirt segments together to create a full block is a nice way to handle smaller motifs. Pieced blocks will typically cost $5 more per seam.

Traditionally set T-shirt Quilts without sashing are $13.00 per square.  The price includes all material and labor except your t-shirts. We provide the backing and batting and then quilt it together with your t-shirts on the front.

Traditionally set T-shirt Quilts with sashing are $16.00 per square. Sashing is a colored strip of fabric between each square. It typically matches the backing color. 

Sashing helps to frame each block, keeps them from "blending" together and adds a nice finished touch.

Borders: Adding a final border to your piece is a nice way to frame the whole quilt. If you choose borders for your piece, there will be an additional charge, based on the number of borders and the size of your quilt. Adding a 6" outer border to your piece will typically add $1-$2/block, with a minimum of $50. Minimum cost is for solid cotton fabric and will change accordingly if the purchaser desires a different material.

Please note that above are samples of finished sizes. Many other sizes from Wall hangings to King sized are available. Pricing will be adjusted for custom sizes.

All pricing will change accordingly of the puchaser desires fabric other than a solid cotton. (Prints, flannels, minkee, etc. are all more costly per yard than are solid cottons). All materials used are of quilt shop quality.

Each square is usually 15" cut, and will finish just over 14" after piecing, but you can specify a different size to make the quilt fit your specifications. (Be sure that your t-shirt motifs are suitable for your desired block size).
