Regarding stiff, well it totally depends what kind of stabilizer you use. I have used the .99 cent a yard super el cheapo stuff JoAnn's sells and it was OK. I prefer the Pellon lightweight fusible for knits. I'm sure starch, if you use enough of it or a not so diluted mix if you mix your own would also work quite well. But no matter what you will have a very heavy quilt.
I agree that a T-Shirt is heavy to begain with, I did use a very light weight pellon and just found it to be stiff and extra heavy. (used spray starch) I didn't have to starch to heavy and it worked just find. Saying this I am an experenced sewer. So that may make a difference also.
