Moonlight Quilts

A custom quilt can be a wonderful and beautiful keepsake and when correctly made from the best materials, quilts can last for decades and be passed down from one generation to the next. T-shirt quilts are an especially popular and modern take on a classic idea. Our grandmothers and great-grandmothers created quilts from old clothing, old linens, etc. and then embroidered them to capture memories. T-shirts are the modern equivalent. T-shirt quilts can be made from t-shirts collected during high school, from travels around the world, and they can even be made from polo shirts, work shirts, and sports jerseys.

Many online companies offer custom t-shirt quilts that are very inexpensive. While an inexpensive quilt isn’t necessarily a bad quilt, it’s important to ask the right questions from your quilt provider to make sure whatever you buy will last. Cheap materials and poor technique will result in a quilt that breaks down over time, but it’s difficult for most people to know the difference between good quilt and bad one. Here are some questions you can ask your quilt provider to make sure you get the best quality:

The Moonlight Quilts studio, situated at the top of the stairs, is a great place for me to be creative. I’ve got a nice southern exposure so there’s lots of sun. I’ve got space to spread out, and my family is just down the hall when I want to see them. So I’m all set. Thru careful arrangement and organization, I’ve managed to pack nearly a whole quilt store’s worth of materials into one of our second bedrooms — no small feat!

Like all creative types, my workspace tends to get a little messy!
