You'll never know til you try it!!!!!!!
My hesitation would be that perhaps the stretch of the t-shirts and the stretch of the fleece as backing might be hard to get stability for quilting. .......... And certainly not saying it would not work. It's just a thought, and something I would think thru before going forward.

I am working on memory quilts.. these are about 75% tshirts. I put interfacing on the tshirts. Every one of these will have fleece backing... I had no problems quilting.. but I just did straightline quilting.. no FMQ. The fleece makes the quilts very soft and cuddly. I have 5 completed now and I have not run into any problems

What type of batting (if any) are you using? I'm making a tshirt quilt also and the fleece is the only material my DH likes...do you use the fluffy batting/ flatter dense batting / no batting? I'm having trouble deciding.
