3. The Mosaic T Shirt Quilt

Most online companies range in panel sizes from 8-16" panels, but what should you do if your jerseys are larger than that? The solution might be looking into mosaic jersey quilts! If you've been quilting quite a while, and are ready for a new challenge, this may be a great option. But if you're intimidated by the project, or just don't have the time, reach out to some online t shirt quilt companies about potentially doing custom projects, specifically mosaic style jersey quilts.
