What’s the difference between a t-shirt blanket and a t-shirt quilt?
Blankets
Blankets are two layers and hand tied for increased strength and durability. Blankets are made with 100% anti-pill polyester fleece. Both quilts and blankets have a separate outer binding to ensure a high quality construction.
Blankets are smaller, can only be made with t-shirts or sweatshirts, and have fewer size and color options.
Quilts
Quilts offer the most size and customization options. Quilts are larger than blankets and are commercially quilted using 100% polyester batting. Quilts are made with three layers.
Quilts are larger, and have many more customization options such as more colors and the option to add sashing to the quilt at no extra charge. You can use different types of shirts or fabric to make a quilt.
How does the ordering process work?
Ordering is as easy as 1-2-3!
1. Place your order
Place your order either here, filling out an order form here and mailing it to us with payment, or by visiting our office in Columbus, Ohio.
2. Prepare your shirts
You should always wash your shirts before sending them. After your order is placed, you'll receive an email confirmation with a set of labels to attach to your shirts, indicating the order you'd like them to appear on the blanket. If you have no preference, feel free to skip this part!
3. Mail them to us
Send us your shirts using the shipping service of your choice (FedEx, UPS, USPS, etc.) and make sure to get your tracking number. That's it! We'll take it from here, and be in constant contact with you every step of the process to let you know how your blanket is coming along.

Do I need to cut my shirts before sending them?
Nope! Let us do all the work. All we ask is that the shirts be washed before sending.
Can I send other clothing items besides t-shirts?
Sure! T-shirts are our most common item but we can also use sweatshirts, hoodies, polo shirts, jerseys, etc. If in doubt, don't hesitate to contact us. We're more than happy to advise on a case-by-case basis.
Please check out this blog post on approved garments that can be used!
How long does it take to receive my blanket?
Our blankets are handmade with the highest attention to quality and detail. Typical turnaround time is 3-5 weeks, starting on the day we receive your t-shirts.

If you would like to request a sample packet to feel the fabrics before you order, you can do so here.
Note: Colors may appear different based on your monitor and slight dye lot changes.
Can I select the order my shirts will appear in on the blanket?
Yes you can! With every order we include a set of labels you can use to number your shirts in the order you would like them to appear. If you have no preference, feel free to leave them unlabeled.
What is the "I Love You" feature?
On every blanket we give the option of having the universal sign for "I Love You" embroidered into one of your shirts. This is completely free to you and a great way to add special meaning to your blanket and show support for the deaf community.
Can I wash my blanket?
Of course! All of our products can be machine washed and dried on a gentle cycle. A gentle soap is preferred.
My t-shirts have graphics on both sides.
What options do I have?
Some t-shirts can have graphics on both sides. Our labeling kit ( link) will aid you in labeling your t-shirt. Choose from using either the front or the back of the t-shirt.
If possible both the front and the back can be combined together into one 15" square. We call this a SPECIAL FEATURE. Depending on the complicity or the number of special features being requested an additional charge of $10 per square may be added to your invoice once your order has been processed.
How much is shipping?
Customers are responsible for shipping costs to get their garments to the Keepsake office. You can find the address and a mailing label here.
You will be charged return shipping as part of your order unless you select local pickup (which is FREE!). For return shipping, we have 2 zones:
Zone 1 is $20 flat-rate shipping per item.
Zone 2 is $25 flat-rate shipping per item.
Please see the map below for the states in each zone.
