Each t-shirt quilt is as unique as its owner.  See the gallery below.

A t-shirt quilt is the perfect gift for any occasion. Your t-shirts and other garments will be made into a beautiful quilt in about two months.  Wild Zipper t-shirt quilts are washable and durable, and your memories are beautifully preserved.

I made my first t-shirt quilt in 1992 and started Wild Zipper as an internet venture in 2002.  I have since made over 1000 quilts for customers worldwide.

I use the fronts and/or backs of your shirts from high school, college, sports, concerts, etc. A reinforcement backing is fused to each square and the quilt is then assembled using light-weight batting. The sashing (fabric between the t-shirt squares) is chosen to complement your t-shirts. You may choose the color or leave it up to me.

I offer two methods of finishing your quilt:

• Hand-tying I use 12 strands of embroidery floss to tie knots on the backside of the quilt. There is no stitching over the shirts and the knots are barely visible.
• Longarm machine quilting I have a beautiful APQS Millennium longarm quilting machine that stitches through all layers in a large meander design. Many traditional quilts are made in this manner.

Your quilt is special, and I will work with you to make sure it is made just right. You can follow along on the quilts in progress page so you can see pictures of your quilt during the process.
