I just deboned (a Bonnie Hunter word that means I cut them apart)) 22 shirts this weekend. Most of them will be used for background. A local re-sale shop gives me shirts that haven't sold after 6 months or they have a tear or spot. The good ones I wash and take to our local Wilbur D Mills Rehab center and the 100% cotton ones I keep. This is how my mother and grandmother made quilts - from garment scraps and/or worn out clothes that still had some good spots in them. I'm always telling friends at church that I want their shirts when they get tired of them.
