Have some old t-shirts that you no longer wear but can’t seem to get rid of? Many people have drawers full of T-shirts that they’ve collected from memorable events, schools they attended, or former workplaces that they miss. However, with so many t-shirts to choose from, it can be difficult to get any use out of them!

 

Luckily, there’s a way to repurpose those worn-out t-shirts into a fun and unique keepsake that you can enjoy for years to come – a memory quilt! 

​

What Is a Memory Quilt? 

 

True to its name, a memory quilt is a quilt made up of your old t-shirts and other clothing items of your choice. These items are made into quilt squares and designed into completely unique items. The final design features a snippet of all of your favorite memories wrapped into those treasured t-shirts you hold so dear.

 

Interested in making memory quilts from clothes? Here are 4 of the top reasons why we think memory quilts are excellent use for keepsake t-shirts you have lying around. 

​

1. Memory Quilts Put Your Old Clothes to Good Use 

 

It can be difficult to part with a t-shirt that carries good memories from your past, but at the same time, you may no longer have an actual need for the shirt itself. Maybe you’ve outgrown it physically or perhaps it’s in a style that you simply don’t wear anymore.

 

When you make memory quilts from clothes, you can put these old t-shirts to use by creating something completely new and valuable. Instead of sitting untouched in your closet, these t-shirts can help to keep you warm, decorate your furniture, or even hang on your wall as a statement piece.

 

2. Memory Quilts Honor Your Accomplishments 

 

Some of your greatest memories in life are commemorated with customized t-shirts. This can include a marathon race or other sporting event, an on-stage production, or a team you were a part of. 

 

Honor these accomplishments by proudly displaying them on a memory quilt that you can enjoy for years to come. Whether you want to show off your lead role in a musical or that home run you scored, a memory quilt is a perfect way to do it.

​

3. A Memory Quilt Keeps Your Memories Close 

 

How many times have you organized your closet and accidentally come across an old t-shirt that brings back a memory you thought you’d forgotten? In the midst of a busy life, it can be difficult to find the time to truly enjoy the memories you’ve made over the years. What better way to keep these memories at top of mind than with custom memory quilts from clothes?
