Happy Friday everyone, I've got a question about fabric and durability. I am a new quilter, so answers that seem obvious to you are appreciated.
I am currently planning a scrappy trip around the world quilt using this guide by Bonnie Hunter:

I was at the thrift store the other day and found an 100% cotton shirt with a cool floral print with the colors that I plan to use in my quilt. I went ahead and bought the shirt with plans to cut it up, but am worried about durability. It isn't exactly gauzy, but it is a lighter weight cotton than quilting cotton. I want my quilts to withstand washing and love. I've never worked with interfacing, but could that be a solution? The fabric will to distributed in small squares over just part of the quilt, so maybe durability matters less than if I was planning on using the fabric in a large panel? What do you guys think?
