Turning old Greek T-shirts into...quilts???

Okay, here’s the issue. Now that I’ve graduated and been forced to grow up (those that are still undergrads, delay this transition as long as possible ) my wife and I have literally dozens of Homecoming, Rush, Bid Day, Iron Bowl, Grab-A-Date, Repaving the Driveway ’99, Crush Party, etc. T-shirts. The question is, what to do with all of them now? Unfortunately, a lot of them have shrunk considerably (the idea that I may have expanded just a bit since my college days would never cross my mind ) and those that haven’t, I just don’t have the opportunity to wear them as much as I had previously. Rather than allow them to continue to fill my dresser, banish them to cardboard boxes in the attic or turn them into work shirts, I would like to somehow display them or preserve them in some way. A fantastic idea I once read/heard about was turning the old shirts into a wall hanging / quilt by sewing all of the backs of the shirts together in rows and columns (like you would individual panels of a quilt), adding a backing and stuffing, then hanging from a curtain rod on the wall. What do y’all think? Any other suggestions or feedback on how y’all think this would look? Thanks!

Most of the girls in my chapter do this after graduation. We don't have a use for our Homecoming '99 shirts or our Bid Day '00 shirts so we put them in a quilt. I am sewing/hemming-challenged so my roommate (who is great at sewing!) is going to put all my old shirts into a quilt. Of course, my jersey will NOT be put in the quilt.
