Default t-shirt fabric

t-shirt quilts query. what happens to the backs and sleeves? do people just send them to the dump?

I looked at JoAnns for knit material for some new wreathes and not being a t-shirt wearer I didn't buy any because it all felt thin to me, and being lazy I figured thin material means more work/fabric required for the wreath. But it did make me think of the question of where the cut offs go.
Can anyone give the bolt numbers for a nice weight? Or maybe when
I get home from vacation I'll stop in at a t-shirt printing shop and ask them where the boo-boo prints go.

edited to add if anyone is interested there are lots of patterns and styles for wreaths from knits. I don't have a link to the one I want to make because I printed it and dleleted the link ;( sorry) but you cut the length of fabric 1-2" wide then in 6" pieces, fold in half and slipknot on.
