Project Repat transforms your unused shirts into beautiful, fleece-lined, t-shirt quilts. We can use t-shirts, jerseys, pajamas, baby clothes and more!

We can mix in different types of fabric, not just cotton t-shirts! We are able to make the most affordable quilts because we only incorporate fabrics and materials that are durable and easy to work with. Some clothing items require a minor fix, but other fabrics either are difficult to work with, or not compatible with our sewing machines. 

Materials that work:

T-shirts, sweatshirts/hoodies, tech and dri fit fabrics, fleece, flannel, scrub tops, dress shirts, jerseys- basketball, volleyball, hockey jerseys, golf polos, military uniforms, polos* . See examples

Materials that do not work:

We can not use Denim/jeans, shirts with zippers, silk, sweaters, knits, canvas, nylon jackets/tracksuits, leather, canvas, letterman jackets, wool, Lycra, Spandex, dance & gymnastics leotards/costumes, sequins, down filled items, women's blouses, satin, graduation gowns/sashes, tote bags, soccer scarves

Materials that may work but would require an alteration fee:

We can use additional materials not listed above but they may require an additional fee of $8.99. 

Rally towels, button down shirts with logos close to collar, polos with logos that are very close to the collar, undersized tank tops/sleeveless shirts, v-neck shirts, cheerleading tops, puff paint, rhinestones, pinnies

The additional charge is due to increased time and attention that we give these pieces to make sure they look great in your finished quilt and to ensure they do not damage our equipment. You will be billed if there is any custom work needed.

You need just 6 shirts to start. Our most popular size is a full size, and that calls for 30 shirt sides.

Every shirt has 2 shirt sides (front side and a back side). We ask our customers to only send in the shirt sides they want in their quilt.

Every shirt has two sides; a front and a back. We can use either (or both!) of these two sides in your quilt. To ensure we only include the exact sides you want, and to help ensure you have the exact number of shirt sides you need for the quilt size you ordered, we ask to you separate your t-shirt sides before you mail them to us. 

No, we cut your shirts into perfect squares for you with our clicker press machines! Although, we do ask our customers to separate the front and back sides of their shirts, only sending us the sides they want in their quilts (front sides, back sides, or both!). This ensures your quilt comes out just the way you want it to.

If you follow the instructions, you will get exactly what you want. If there are shirts that are smaller than our 13x13 machines, we can use them, but will cost $9 per shirt for us to do custom work on. We can use a mix of a lot of different kinds of material. Sweaters, leotards, shirts with a lot of ruffles, and jeans do not work.

You will receive instructions on how to prep and ship your shirts to us in your order confirmation email. Please do not cut your shirts before reading the instructions and watching the instructional video provided in that email.

When sending your shirts, try to find the smallest package or polymailer to send the shirts so everything stays secure during the transportation process. Make sure the bag/box is taped properly as well. 

We use fedex or the post office. You will see your option when you go buy the label.  If the label has both fedex and usps on it, only drop off at fedex.

For fedex, you can  Find closest location here

With the post office, ship in any box you might have, but do not use post office flat rate boxes. When you buy label, you will also get a QR code so you can print at post office too if you do not have a printer.

We make all of our t-shirt quilts in Morganton, Western North Carolina at a worker-owned factory we are partnered with called Opportuntiy Threads. Customers ship their shirts to us, you will get a link to buy a shipping label in your order confirmation email.

The pricing is based usually on the number of shirts we have to cut and the size of the quilt. 

Mini Throw is $45

Bed Runner is $50

Lap Size is $75

Twin Size is $110

Full Size is $140

Queen is $200

King is $250

Once you place your order, you will receive a confirmation email where you will be able to purchase your shipping label with us. This label averages at about $30, depending on where you are located, and covers the entire traveling cost for your shirts (their trip to us, and for us to send your finished t-shirt quilt from North Carolina back to you).

Shipping costs vary, between $25-$50 (average is $30). The cost depends on what size quilt we are making for you and where in the US you are located. Shipping pays for both ways – for the customer to send the shirts and for us to send your finished quilt back. You will pay post purchase.

Turnaround is 5-6 weeks right now.

We do! We have a reusable canvas gift bag. It fits all of our quilts perfectly – and lives on as a reliable tote for school, errands, weekend trips, and making more memories.

Yes, we make baby quilts!

**We can not use material with zippers. Shirts need to be at least 7x7 inches.**

What sizes can I send?

We recommend using 12 month up to 3T. Some 6 month and 9 month clothing will work too! We need at least 7"x7" of material to make a baby quilt panel. Finished dimensions for the panel will be approximately 6"x6".

Can I use a newborn onesie?

Unfortunately, newborn onesies do not fit our die cut.

How do I prep the clothing to send?

Prep is super easy! Just send us the whole item! No need to cut!

How many sides to do I need?

Our baby quilts use 36 sides. Because you are sending whole articles of clothing, we can make 2 sides from 1 item! We only need 18 items to make your quilt!

What if I don't want one side of an item used?

No problem! Just mark it for us! Just make sure you have 36 sides all together! See an example below:

How will you cut my kids' clothing?

We will cut them the same way we do our original T-Shirt quilts, just a mini version! We take a perfect square from each of your shirts, using the BEST parts of the shirts, and sew them together on the front of the t-shirt quilt.

What sizes do you offer in the baby clothing quilts?

Currently, we offer one size. 48"x48".

We turn our scraps into socks – called Scrappy Socks! They are made locally to where our t-shirt quilts are made, and they are available on our site for purchase.

We take a perfect square from each of your shirts, using the BEST parts of the shirts, and sew them together on the front of the t-shirt quilt. Then we back the quilt with high-quality fleece (your choice of colors!). We do not quilt your t-shirts, which is a much more labor-intensive process. There are many great t-shirt quilt companies out there, but we heard from people that they wanted to preserve their t-shirt memories and get a great product without paying 500 to 700 dollars for it! We realize you may be thinking: How can you make a product that is top quality yet so much more affordable? Well, the way we construct the t-shirt quilt (sewing all of the shirts together and then attaching the fleece on the back) takes a lot less time to make, and we pass the savings on to you.

• We've made over a million t-shirt quilts since we started in 2012.
• We spend a lot of time carefully cutting the most important parts, and laying out the t-shirts to make the finished design look great!
• We don't use any batting or interfacing. You may ask:  "Why? That's what my quilting friend says you NEED to do." The problem with that is the t-shirts may look really stiff at first, but with the wash, the interfacing gets destroyed. Our blankets are meant to be used and washed!
• The fleece is sewn around the outside and attached to the t-shirts. You can technically pull the two sides apart, but only if you REALLY wanted to. They lie flat and stay together VERY well, even after many many washes.

To change shipping information, click on the upper left hand corner on "change shipping address". Adjust as needed. Make sure to save your changes in the upper right hand corner.

We will send a note to you when we receive your shirts. Keep in mind that sometimes that email goes to spam. You can also find your tracking number on your shipping label that you downloaded to print, and you can track it there too. 

If the shirts have arrived in october and november, without christmas rush shipping selected, we can not give an estimated delivery time.

Pick out your quilt size based on the gift card you have received. Then, enter the code on your card at checkout where it says, "discount code".

(Sometimes customers forget they redeemed the code already, but never sent their shirts. That is usually why a code say it does not work.)

You have 2 months to send in your shirts after you order. Unfortunately, we do not refund after that. If you need more time, that's okay, just pay a small extension fee in your customer portal. We do this so we can make sure we are properly staff and can meet customer demand.

You have 2 months to send in your shirts after you order. If you are close to the deadline for sending your shirts, we offer extensions for a fee, that way you can send your shirts when you are ready. We do this so we can make sure we are properly staff and can meet customer demand.

Our system makes it easy to pick a bigger size post purchase. If you need a smaller size, just write a note on your packing slip, and send in your shirts. Send us a note after you get your quilt back, and we can refund the difference. 

Your t-shirt quilt can go right in the wash – wash cold, tumble dry low. No dry cleaning needed, unlike more clunky, old style quilts.

There is also a label on your blanket, if you ever forget!

Any box that you can fit your shirts, and can be securely taped up! Many people use their old Amazon boxes.  Do not use priority flate rate boxes.

We need at least 13x13 inches of material for regular size panels. If a few are smaller, we can use them, but will cost $9 extra. If you have a lot of small pieces that are different sizes, we might not be the right fit.

One way we try to keep prices low for you is that we do not take a ton of custom requests. Our process is built to make you a beautiful t-shirt quilt at an affordable price. If you want a lot of bells and whistles, we might not be the right fit. We do offer quilt upgrades to personalize your quilt such as custom embroidery, photo squares, and designing your own layout.

If you have a specific part of the shirt that you want, you can use masking tape to mark it. Make the square 12x12. 

We can only make the sizes we have available on our site, and we try to not to make quilts where there are a ton of small pieces. We can do a few for you for $9 extra per piece, but not more than 5-6. 

If you're having trouble finding your confirmation email with access to your order information, you can look up your order here.

There you can add photos, embroidery, make address changes and buy your shipping label to send the shirts. 

Gift cards and e-cards cannot be combined with any other discounts or promotions. 

Only one gift card or e-card code per quilt order can be redeemed. 

 All gift card and e-card sales are final - they cannot be returned or refunded. If a gift card is lost, we do not reissue gift cards or offer credit. Gift cards and e-cards cannot be used for shipping, upgrades, or any custom work invoices that your order may incur during production. 

The gift cards and e-cards are sold and bought per size (not as a monetary value) and can only be redeemed for the size listed on the gift card or e-card. You are allowed to redeem the quilt for a bigger size than what your gift card says, and can just pay the difference at checkout.

Example: If you bought a Queen size gift card or e-card, it is meant to be redeemed for a Queen size quilt. It cannot be used to buy one Twin size and one Full size. If you redeem the card or digital code for a smaller size than listed on the card, you are acknowledging that there will be no remaining balance for another purchase and once the order is complete, the money cannot be reloaded to the gift card or as a digital credit.

Yes, we can use pajamas to make a t-shirt quilt. Please send at least 15x15 inch pieces when you send.

If you need a specific name, sponsor, or part of the shirt included on one of your panels, please mark the area with masking tape that you would like us to use. If no area is marked, we cannot guarantee the name/sponsor to be included.

If your shirts are Men Large and above, like XL, XXL, XXXL, we recommend thisoption. Send same amount of sides as regular quilt. Quilt just ends up bigger. 

We also offer larger panel sizes, 14x14 inches ($20) through your customer portal, and 16x16 inches ($50) upon request via email.

When customers send in shirts that requires custom work, we bill them for the extra work. Our team has processed over 25 million shirts, and they know what needs extra attention, and what does not. We have expert cutters, designers, and sewers. Thank you for trusting us to make the best blanket possible for you. 

Tank Tops

Sometimes tank tops need a little extra work so we can grab the best part of the shirt and center the image on the finished panel. It costs $8.99 per piece extra and you will be billed after we receive and review these items at production.

V-neck shirts & cheer tops

Frequently v-necks and cheer tops may require some custom work ($8.99 extra per panel) to meet the size requirement, and make them fit uniformly in the quilt.

Too Small Shirts

When shirts arrive that are too small to fill the ordered panel size, we add fabric to the shirt to ensure it fits uniformly with the other panels on the quilt. It is $8.99 per shirt that is too small.

We require customers to use our shipping labels as they cover the shipping costs for both ways and activate our advanced tracking system. This ensures that your shipment is properly tracked and processed without issues.

If you forget to enclose the packing slip with your package, do not worry. We can use the information provided on your shipping label to check in your order and continue with the production process.

We currently do not offer phone support as we strive to keep our overhead costs low in order to provide the most affordable quilts. However, we are committed to assisting you throughout the process via our online help center.

Upload your photo in our portal, and we will print it on a white fabric square, and then add it to your quilt.

Design Your Own Layout

You can upload a photo with your preferred layout in our order management system post purchase. 

If you have a preferred design layout for how you would like your order made, you can upload a picture of your design, and we will follow it when we create your quilt. It’s $25 extra. After you have picked out the shirts and separated them into sides, please fold them so the graphics are fully visible. Next, lay them out in the order you would like them to appear in your completed quilt. Be sure the layout that matches the size you ordered:

We ask customers to separate the front and back, as seen here. But, if you do not care about which sides of the shirts are used, and need help with the cutting, we can cut them for you for a $2 per shirt fee. We will invoice you. If you have a lot of small pieces that are pre-cut, send us a message first. A lot of times they require a lot of attention from our team, and may not be the right fit.

Unfortunately we do not make pillows at this time.

Due to the custom nature of this product, we allow only one quilt per order. This ensures each quilt can be handled with individual attention and care.

Additionally, when you pack and ship your shirts to us, please put each order in its own box. This is the best way to make sure shirts and orders stay organized and allows us to efficiently process and create your quilt. 

The pricing is based usually on number of shirts we have to cut and the size of the quilt.
