Apple t-shirt quilt available on eBay

I don't know how comfy a quilt made out of t-shirts would be, but maybe the fact that they're all Apple t-shirts will help. That's exactly what this quilt is made out of -- it's up over on eBay right now, and while the price is only around $36 at the time of this writing, it's probably gone up since then. There are about 20 t-shirts in the quilt total, and they look like they range from the late '90s (there's a bondi blue iMac on there, I believe) up to the Tiger release (at least those are all the ones I recognize). And they do seem like official store t-shirts, which means whoever made the quilt probably is or knows an Apple employee.

If you can get over the fact that someone probably once wore your quilt, it might be a nice Apple-themed bedspread to grab. I've been looking for a good quilt lately, and while this is a little too patched together for my interests, maybe Apple is missing something here. What would an Ive-designed quilt end up looking like?

well first of all the $1200 bid was obviously a mistake because it has been administratively removed and its back to

$429...oh my god...this person has hit the lottery...now there will be a mad dash for people to collect all their t-shirts and making their old mommies make them the quilt to sell...

if i knew how to do it i would be on it already

lmfao

It's up to $1225. There sure a lot of people with more money than brains out there.

OVER $1,200 NOW... Buy someone an iMac instead, or give them $1,200... they'll love it more than 20 T-shirts. Geez, I thought our economy was down?!?

Ahhh that would be awesome if Apple began their own clothing line like Microsoft has. Imagine wearing a shirt with all six Apple computers on back and all five Apple MP3 players on the front - AWESOME!!!

i'm having a friend make a quilt for me right now out of some of my old t-shirts, and there's quite a lot of apple shirts in there. i had to double-check this auction to make sure this wasn't my friend selling my quilt! (ha!)

The bid is up to $237 with more than three days to go. Gotta love it.

I can tell you that tshirt quilts are most definitely comfortable. In this case, the 60/40 backing fabric probably isn't all that great and it also looks like the t-shirts aren't properly fused which means the whole thing would be quite saggy but the concept is great. My wife makes them for a living and has made quilts out of race shirts, concert shirts, harley shirts, etc. but never Apple shirts. If you have shirts you want made properly into a quilt, head over to http://www.patchworkmemories.com and she'll set you up right.

this is crap... when i worked for apple i donated shirts to this quilt. i could have put my shirts on ebay... i still have about 100 of them. i fully expect THIS PERSON (i know who they are) to distribute the proceeds...bah!

these are all shirts handed to apple costumers in special occasions. as far as i know, apple never sold shirts. only handed them out.
