Default tshirt quilt

I am concerned that if I only stitch in the ditch they will puff out. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I do have a picture attached.

I have made several tshrt quilts for people. I have tied a reallly huge.one and it.washed fine. I have also juststitched a diagonal about 4" apart and thrum the shirts. It didn't destroy the look of theshirts at all. Then you could stitch differently in the border. Either way you quilt looks wonderful. It turned out really well.
