Hi Donna,
I've made a few t-shirt quilts that have turned out pretty good. I use fusible interfacing. I usually cut my tshirt blocks a little bigger than 13x13, cut out same size piece of iron-on fusing, iron it on the t-shirt, then I re-cut to make sure my block is exactly 13x13. Might seem like more steps, with a little more waste, but then my t-shirt is not stretching or moving on me to make the exact block dimensions. I make my quilts 4 blocks wide and 5 long (sometimes 6 long)... (makes a nice usable lap blanket). I like your idea for the "shadow" with jeans. When I was at the Nebraska State Fair, I took a picture of a quilt (made by an 11 yr old!) with disney characters, with a shadow look. I'll include the picture. I guess the shadow would work best if you've got tshirts that you really want to stand out. The other one is more of a rag quilt with my running t-shirts, with the seams on the right side plus I sewed an "x" through each block to hold the flannel I used in the middle in place (yep it's heavy).
