The $50.00 is a deposit only. The rest will be paid prior to shipping upon completion of the quilt. This is a custom made item and can vary in size depending on your desires. The clothing is all backed with stabilizer prior to sewing together unless it is a thick material. All the quilts will have 80/20 cotton/polyester batting. All will be made in a smoke free pet friendly home. Memory quilts can be made from old clothing, t-shirts, military uniforms, etc. I can hand quilt your memory quilt if you choose. If you want it machine quilted, I will use my long arm machine to free motion quilt. Finished time for a hand quilted piece is much longer but many people prefer this type of quilting. I can do both a traditional tiny stitch or a big stitch. Please contact me prior to ordering so we can discuss your desires and an estimated final cost. Memory quilts should be a personal experience as the memories you are forever placing in a blanket are irreplaceable and unique. So should your quilt be. We will talk about material, colors, time frame, and most of all what you want the finished product to be. I anxiously await the opportunity to make your memories into a tangible piece that will become a family heirloom and passed on from generation to generation. Please keep in mind not all material will react the same to the process needed to complete the quilt. I will do my best to take care of your treasures but understand I can't guarantee something will not be damaged in the process. Panel sizes may vary depending on the size of the material. Children's clothing will be perhaps 10-12" panels, average adult 14" panels, and for extra large clothing the panels could be 18" in size. An estimated price guide for a quilt is as follows: large lap size, nine 14" panels, $300 extra large, sixteen 14' panels, $400 twin size, twenty 14" panels, $450 full/double size, twenty 14" panels $550 queen size, thirty 14" panels $600 King size, thirty-six 14" panels $700 These are guidelines. Not all quilts will be made with the same size clothing or panels.
