How many shirts do I need for each size?Updated 8 months ago

shirt sides

For a King Size we need 64 sides. If you order bigger size panels, we still require same amount of sides. The quilt just ends up bigger. 

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.

1 shirt 2 sides

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.

For overall sizing, how many shirts you need and dimensions, check out these guides. If you want bigger size squares, you send same amount of shirts, the t shirt quilt just ends up bigger:
