5 Reasons Why a T-Shirt Quilt is the Perfect Graduation Gift

Do you want to give a gift for your graduate that is sentimental and will be cherished for years to come? A t-shirt quilt makes the perfect gift that will not only preserve their cherished memories but also upcycle all their stacked up t-shirts from high school and college.

1. Unique Way to Preserve School Memories

Gifting your graduate a t-shirt quilt is a creative way to preserve all of those treasured t-shirts that they have been collecting over their high school and college years. They are often hard to part ways with because each t-shirt is a special memory from events, sports games, concerts and so many other occassions. Instead of letting these memories fade away or stack up in a closet - why not turn them into a unique, memorable gift? Each t-shirt tells a story and represents a special memory - a t-shirt quilt of their favorite memories is a gift that will be cherished for years to come.


2. It Will Be the Best Gift They've Ever Gotten

Most graduates get gift cards and money for graduation, which is not unique or sentimental. We've heard so many stories of graduates saying that their t-shirt quilt was the "best gift ever!" from the loved one who gave it to them. A t-shirt quilt is a personalized gift that stands out from the rest - and we make the process easy for you to do. How special would it be to see the look on their face when they open their t-shirt quilt full of their favorite memories?


3. Clears Up Closet Space

High school and college graduates have A LOT of t-shirts. When they move on to college, they can't bring their whole closet with them. Especially when they're moving to a smaller space like a dorm room. Turning their t-shirts into a custom quilt is a unique way to clear up their closet space, while still being able to take their favorite memories with them.


4. A Practical and Nostalgic Gift  

Not only does a t-shirt quilt preserve your grad's favorite memories, but it also can be used as a cozy blanket or as a decorative throw to add a pop of color to a room. They're perfect for college dorm rooms or apartments and can make a great piece of conversation in any room. For any college graduate who wants a reminder of their favorite memories of growing up, a t-shirt quilt is a nostalgic gift that can remind them of home.


5. Good for the Environment  

Turning old t-shirts into a new quilt is an environementally-friendly way to upcycle shirts that are no longer worn. Project Repat helps reduce the environmental impact of discarded t-shirts - as they mostly land up in landfill or travel thousands of miles to be resold in the developing countries. Even the ones donated to charity usually go through the same cycle with only a small percent actually being donated to someone in need. Instead of letting your graduates tee's end up in a landfill, you can turn them into a quilt that helps give more years of life to every t-shirt and helps the environment at the same time.


A t-shirt quilt is the perfect graduation gift for anyone who wants to give a sentimental and personalized gift. It's a unique way to commemorate high school and college milestones and memories. It also serves as a great way to represent a graduates interests, achievements and sports events. It's truly a gift that keeps on giving for years to come.

FAQ

What is a t-shirt side?

What types of fabric and articles of clothing do you take?

Can I have t-shirts on both sides of my blanket, no fleece?

Yes! That would be our double-sided blanket. It's t-shirts on one side, and t-shirts on the other side. No layers or batting in between. Here you go!

How many shirts do I need for each size?

What is a SIDE of a t-shirt? It's either the front OR the backside of the t-shirt.
We only need the designated number of sides of shirts (front or back), not full t-shirts. For example, a Full size blanket can be made with 15 full t-shirts using the fronts and backs, or 30 shirts just using one side or any combination in between. DO NOT SEND EXTRA SHIRTS.

Please see our instructions page for how you should prep your shirts. Do NOT send extra shirts. If you get a bigger size panel, we still require the same amount of shirts.
