old band t-shirts

[shuckiduck.livejournal.com]

Okay, so here's the deal.
I go to shows (concerts, gigs, whatever) like crazy. I have been for years.
I've amassed quite a collection of band tees.
HOWEVER... there are a number of them that I know I rarely, if ever, wear, and some I won't because well, I don't like the designs anymore or they're just too big.

There's no way I'm going to throw them out... sometimes I long-term loan some to friends, but I'd rather not do that because well, there are a lot, and I'd like to keep whatever this "investment" is.

I do not want to cut them. I had already thought about altering them to fit but I'd rather try something else because quite frankly I have plenty, plenty of band tees.

I was thinking something along the lines of a quilt, but I'm not sure how exactly to carry that out. Some of the shirts have designs on both sides (and I have plenty of pillows). Hypothetically, if I seam-ripped whatever I sewed together apart, I'd be able to get the shirt off intact. I was thinking get a plain no-sew fleece and sew it to that... but I want some input.

I've made a few things but haven't posted them yet. They include a couple of super-functional iPod cozies (read: not just pouches this time!) and a hat. Eventually. I mean it.

thanks all in advance...
