I've made a lot of tshirt quilts and they have always been hits. I do keep mine one directional, for ease of reading, and I frame the blocks to bring them to size.
I keep as little of the actual knit fabric as possible, trimming around just the design. I tend to like scrappy framing for each block then I use a common fabric to sash the quilt. I like to use even the small designs, and will often join 4 of them to make a block to equal the larger blocks. Or I might use a long narrow section to add size to one that is shorter by adding it to the top, bottom or side.
I make each row like a puzzle, and it may be taller or shorter than another row. I just make them all the same width so they fit together across.
