Welcome to the board! I am of no help in regards to the T-shirt quilt top. But for your backing, I say go for it. I haven't done a plain back in forever. I do planned pieced backs. What I mean by that is that when I am planning the quilt top, I am also planning the back. I LOVE a pieced back as it gives me an opportunity to add another element to the quilt. I often make extra of the blocks used on the front and include them on the back. Or I will piece together coordinating fabrics just so my back isn't plain.
I went to a quilt show this weekend and there was a t-shirt quilt that had a few t-shirt blocks on the back. It was very cool!!
