T-Shirt Quilt Pricing
The following pricing is designed with the ideal quilt in mind. Pricing may change based on the complexity of design or size of the quilt. All charges will be agreed upon by MamaG and the customer before starting the quilt.
BEFORE STARTING THE QUILT
Agree on charges and design of quilt. Basic design is never final and any/all changes will be shown to customer and approved before material is cut/sewn.
Purchase materials. This is the responsibility of the customer. I will be happy to assist and/or accompany customer to the fabric store within 100 miles of LaFayette, Georgia.
Materials Include The Following:
Binding - finished edge of quilt. This is sold in 2.5 inch pre-cut strips and a world of different colors. ***Please Note*** if there is going to be strips between the t-shirts on the quilt there will need to be extra purchased.
Batting - this is the “fluffy” layer of the quilt. There are different weights and thickness to choose from. Any and all are acceptable with the exception of wool due to a skin allergy. (sorry)
Backing - this is the material that is on the back of the quilt. Can be any cotton, cotton blend, or flannel material. This can be purchased after the initial purchase of material because it is best to buy this when you have the final “finished” size.
T-Shirt Quilts require a Fusible Backing to prevent further stretching of material. This will be ironed onto the material before cutting and is a flat fee of $15 regardless of the size of the quilt.
King sized quilts require 3 spools of thread at 14.00 (42$) - all other quilts need 2 spools.
