A blanket has two layers, a quilt has three layers and a quilt has an artistic stitching pattern over the entire surface of the quilt that binds the three layers together to increase durability.

Your t-shirt squares make up the top layer, followed by the batting for weight and warmth, then the final layer of  backing material.

Below, you can see how we cut 15″ squares before we sew them into finished 14.5″ squares. Please note, if the graphic is near the collar, the collar may be included within the square to give the completed square the best look.

For the best care of your quilt, we recommend dry-cleaning only. Although not recommended, if you would prefer to use a washing machine, the cold/gentle cycle and air-drying the quilt would be best.

Sashing is a 1.5″ frame around each square that increases the size of your quilt. It is not required but does set each square apart providing a more distinguished look. 

Batting is the layer of material between the t-shirt layer and the backing. The photograph below illustrates the thickness of our polyester batting. We also offer a 100% cotton batting for an additional charge.

Binding is a 3/4″ border around the quilt. It is formed by pulling the excess backing to the front of the quilt to close the quilt. Binding is standard on all quilts.

Embroidery is a personalized message. The embroidered message can be within a square on the front or on a piece of fabric on the back of the quilt.

Yes, but we do recommend sending the entire shirt. If you choose to split the shirt, be careful when cutting. To get the best square possible, we will need the entire side that you would like on your quilt. If you cut too narrow, this could result in unnecessary appliques ($7.5/ea).

We strongly encourage using UPS or FedEx. 

Yes, Campus Quilt Co. has preserved the memories of individuals and families around the world! All associated costs with international shipping will be added to the final invoice upon completion of the quilt and will reflect the direct shipping cost, no additional fees.  

Rest assured, we will assist you as much as is reasonably possibly at any time you experience difficulty with a package you have sent to us or you are expecting from us. Unfortunately, once a package of any nature is picked up by the carrier it becomes their responsibility and under their control. As a result, Campus Quilt Co. is not responsible for items lost or damaged while in transit via any carrier. 

Campus Quilt Co. has a healthy working relationship with all of our local carriers but has chosen to partner with UPS for the return of all completed memory quilts to customers (this does not apply to international shipments). We encourage you to use UPS when sending your t-shirts to us. 

There is a $19.99 flat rate return shipping cost per product/package.
