You could also look in your area and see if anyone is teaching a class on how to make t-shirt quilts. I have made 2 so far, one with all the blocks the same size the other different sizes. Both people loved them and I have 4 more to make.
I completely agree with stablizing the shirts before trying to sew them together. They are easier to work with all the way around.
