Default Has anyone made a quilt out of sweatshirts?

I have a large stack of dd's discarded sweatshirts and sweatpants here waiting to be taken to Goodwill. Some of the logo's are quite nice, although most are plain. I'm debating between giving them away so others can benefit from wearing the clothing, or trying to make a quilt out of them for my dd.

Sweatshirt fabric is so thick and stretchy, I'm thinking I could probably stabilize it with Misty Fuse (I think fusible nylon tricot would create too much thickness and heaviness). Because the seams would be so bulky, I thought maybe I could overlap seams. I have a serger so that's a possibility too.

I just don't want to start a project like this and end up with a disaster on my hands. (Have had too many of those!!! )

Any comments? Photos of sweatshirt quilts???
