To begin the process
- Determine the amount of shirt you would like to use.
- Please make sure that the shirts that you are sending are freshly laundered.
- If the shirt only has one image, no need to do anything.
- If the shirt has two images, front and back, and you want to use both images, do nothing. I will use both front and back.
- If you just want one side, place painters’ tape on the images that you want to have used. Example, there are images on the front and back of the shirt and you would like to use just the back image. Place a small piece of tape on the back of the shirt and mark use. If it works to work in the other image and it is not just advertisement, you will not be charged for an additional item I choose to use in the quilt.
- If you have a special shirt that you would like on the top, in the middle or anywhere specific in the quilt, please mark it with painters tape and write on tape where you would like it.
- Pick out color of border you would like to use.
- Black
- Grey
- Blue
- Additional colors are available, just let us know what you need and we will get it!
- Pick out a quilting pattern that you will like on the quilt. Patterns available here
- Contact Turtle Creek Quilting and we will send out an invoice for deposit for your quilt. After receiving your deposit, we will send you our address to mail the T-shirts to or we can arrange for pick up if local.
