Styles and Pricing - Turn key price= $14 per shirt. This price includes sashing strips between the shirt panels. The sashing looks like a window pane and helps to visually break up the t-shirts.
The basic style is made up of your t-shirts stabilized with an interfacing and cut to a uniform size( normally 15", based on the largest logo provided. Your quilt will come with a 1.5" sashing and a 3" border of premium solid cotton accent fabric. Sashing resembles window panes and acts as a a frame around each t-shirt square with premium 100% cotton fabric.

How to Get Started
A deposit of $100 is required to begin the process. Payment can be made by cash, check, credit card or money order. The easiest for me is PayPal. After you contact us we will send you an invoice through PayPal for payment.
Pick out the shirts you wish to have included in the quilt (it is wise to include a few extras). Freshly launder the shirts. Do NOT use fabric softner. I highly recommend using Oxy Clean to brighten the fabric and remove stains. They don't have to be perfect, some stains add character! I do not recommend including shirts where the logo/design is peeling off or heavily damaged.
Do NOT cut the shirts apart. Please provide them whole and recently washed.
Do NOT use fabric softner on the t-shirts.
Shipping and Handling
If you do not live locally (Louisville), place the washed and dried t-shirts in a sealed plastic bag, then carefully box and ship it to Quilted Joy at 216 Dunbar Place, Louisville, Ky 40243. Return shipping will be $12 for one quilt. $7 for each additional quilt.
Upon arrival of your shirts, I will contact you via e-mail or phone to discuss design, fabric choices (color and pattern/theme) and production timeframe. When your quilt is done, I will e-mail you a digital photo of the quilt and let you know the balance due. The quilt is shipped when final payment is received.
