Two of my tee shirt quilts were hand quilted and tied. I had not learned about the fusible interfacing yet so I hand stitched around the logos, etc. I also tied in the negative spaces. It was a "primary grades" type tee shirt quilt so the bright ties added to the design. Another tee shirt quilt (also not interfaced) was SITD around sashings and then hand stitched around logos on the tee shirt parts. I also SITD on an attic windows quilt and tied inside the windows. Also cute. Let your quilt talk to you. And remember: silly is as silly does. Good luck.
