Default T-Shirt Quilts and Stabilizer

I am about to start a t-shirt/memory quilt for a friend and am not sure about a couple things. I know that each shirt piece needs some type of stabilizer, but I don't know what kind....tear away, wash away, iron-on, stitch-on. I also don't know about quilting once all the pieces are stitched into the top. Do you quilt around the design on each piece?, or just around the edges? I want to frame each t-shirt piece with sashing, but not sure if there is a better choice in fabrics...a basic cotton?....something a bit heavier? Or is it all personal choice? I also would be greatly in your debt if you would share any hints/tips. TIA, Rose
