May 23, 2024
At Southern Methodist University (SMU), located in the vibrant city of Dallas, Texas, each student’s journey is filled with unforgettable moments, cherished traditions, and a strong sense of community. Amidst the bustling campus life and academic excellence, custom T-shirt quilts emerge as a cherished tradition—a tangible and heartfelt tribute to the memories made at SMU.
Crafted from a collection of beloved T-shirts representing various aspects of university life, these quilts become more than just blankets; they become cherished keepsakes, woven with threads of camaraderie, resilience, and triumph. Each shirt tells a story—a story of late-night study sessions in Fondren Library, cheering on the Mustangs at Ford Stadium, and moments of connection and discovery on the Boulevard.
The process of creating a custom T-shirt quilt is a labor of love. Students and alumni gather their most treasured shirts, each one a tangible reminder of the experiences that have shaped them. With the guidance of skilled quilt makers, they carefully design a layout that captures the essence of their SMU journey, ensuring that every square is infused with meaning and nostalgia.
