FAQs
Q: What size memory quilts do we make?
A: Currently, we make from a throw size(48X60)-queen size(84X92). We hope to add king sized quilts this year. If you would like to be notified when we start those, please make sure you are on our email list and we will email you when we start that.
Q: How many shirts are needed for a memory quilt?
A: For a throw sized quilt, we like to have 15-20 shirts; for a queen sized quilt, we like to have 20-30 quilts. For the sizes in between, the numbers fall in between. There are some variables in there, including, but not limited to shirt sizes, fronts or backs only, or fronts and backs. We can definitely work with fewer shirts, and add coordinating fabrics.
Q: Can you use jeans, jackets, over/coveralls, etc. for memory items?
A: Yes! If it's fabric, we will figure out a way to use it for your items!
Q: Why do we use cotton or cotton blend batting to sandwich our quilts?
A: Cotton is washable, durable and holds scents from memory items much better than polyester or even bamboo. Cotton is also "smart." It knows when to heat things up by holding in heat and when to cool things down by breathing.
Q: How many memory items(think pillows/animals) can you get out of one shirt?
A: There are a LOT of variables in answering this question. Some include what size garments you have; what size items you want; do you want us to use coordinating fabrics to supplement, etc.
