Then completely go with your ideas on direction. I think an adult cuddle quilt is perfect. Just an idea since the recepiant is eclectic have you thought about cutting some of the shirts smaller (closer to the designs) and making it more patch work style. That's how I just did one and my DD loves it. Most of the shirts are right side up with a few of them with just words turned sideways. If you are happy with your sizes and shapes I say the last layout is most appealing.
