I saved t-shirts from my two boys who were both athletes (they are now 21 and 26) and made t shirt quilts for them. The t shirts range from age 8 to college. Several people ask
me how much I would charge to make one for their son or daughter. My first reaction was they did not have enough money, but after thinking about it I am wondering if it would be profitable. Give me your thoughts.....twin, full, Queen/King...one price with them providing the supplies and one price if I provide the supplies.

Thank you for your vote of confidence....my youngest son is in college and everyone has loved it! He had numerous request to get pricing from me and I am afraid I will price it too high.

If they really want one, they will pay what you are asking. It's not like they can buy one in Wallyworld.

I think they are great. My husband has hundreds of concert shirts in boxes and my goal is to one day have him pick his favorites and make a quilt.

What a great job you did on the quilt!! I am in the process of making a t-shirt wallhanging for a co-worker. Unfortunately, I haven't thought of pricing yet. I will have to keep a tally of what I bought for fabrics, supplies, and my time. Wish I could help you with what to charge.

Thanks for sharing
