(For those of you who are not quiltmakers, which I suspect is most: t-shirt quilts are hard because (a) the t-shirts have to be stabilized so they don't stretch and (b) the multiplicity of motifs can make design decisions complex and (c) as with most commissioned quilts, people think they can get something for virtually nothing.)

Definitely use fusible interfacing for stabilizer, let the client decide the layout (although I suggested a skewed 4-3-4-3-4 vs a 6 x 3) of an 18-shirt quilt.
