Default need help thinking about t-shirt quilt!

Hi quilting friends! I've never been intrigued by t-shirt quilts... but after cleaning out our closets (mine and DH's) today, and discovering a BUNCH of old t-shirts, many of which hold fond memories, but which neither of us will ever wear again, I've decided that is exactly what I want to do! All of a sudden (after 37 years) we have SO MANY T-SHIRTS!!! I've seen a pattern for making these quilts, but can't remember where... and I really want to go ahead and start cutting out the cute parts so I can recycle the rest as cleaning rags and such. What, if anything do I need to do before cutting? Do I go ahead and stabilize? What do you use to stabilize t-shirt blocks? Does the type of sashing matter? Do I use batting? In other words... HELP!!??!!?? I need all the help you can offer! And THANK YOU for all your suggestions!!
