I know it’s early… but do you need a dish to bring to Thanksgiving dinner? Yes, a veg tray is a staple, but…

Get your orders in for cookie trays - Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. (mini cookies don’t really count as calories because they are small, right??) The holidays are approaching and calendar spots will be limited!

When you have a specific layout you want, take a photo! I can use that as a reference for placement. Sometimes graphics sizes don’t cooperate with the vision you have but I will do my best! Having some small graphics as ‘optionals’ helps when there are gaps. I would rather fill spaces with another graphic as opposed to using more of the shirt’s ‘blank space’. Don’t worry- I won’t cut up your optionals unless I use them (you’ll get them back if not used).

You didn’t have a memory quilt made when you were a high school/college student? Still saved all of those t-shirts/sweatshirts because you didn’t want to part with them? Go ahead and drag that collection out of the closet, attic, basement and make it happen!

Choosing what color sashing will look best can depend on your collection. If your collection is made up of darker colors, a lighter sashing will look better - it visually separates the garments. If your collection varies, sometimes a medium tone (medium grey) looks best. I usually recommend going with a neutral color for sashing (grey - lt, med, or dark), navy, black, etc. Save that pop of color for the border or use another neutral. The stars of the show are your t-shirts, jerseys, etc. You can always pick a fun backing fabric.

If you don’t have a specific layout request for your quilt, I will do my best to vary the colors within your quilt. I try not to put similar colors next to each other and will try to sprinkle the bright ones throughout:) Sometimes collections are heavy on one color so it’s not always possible. Adding sashing can help separate the graphics if the garments are all one color.

Notice the little graphic bits in the border? If you have some elements that won’t fit in the quilt (basic = all blocks are the same size), I can add them to the border. Keep in mind, the standard border that I do is 4 inches, so the graphics need to be narrow. If you have a collection of small graphics that you would like to add to your basic layout, you can also do a ‘pieced block’ - it’s an add-on (added time to assembly), but it’s a way to add some smaller elements to the layout without going the ‘modern’ route.

I have finally found time to get some quilt pictures ready to post! Here’s an example of a quilt with no sashing. People tend to add sashing (the small strips of fabric in between the graphic elements) but it is a personal preference. I always tell people. ‘If you don’t care either way, don’t add it,’ because it is an added cost (takes more time + material). I will never try to add upgrades/upsell you! I think quilts look great either way - sashing or no sashing 🙂
