I have been cutting aforementioned shirt pieces for nearly 2 hours. Sooooo much progress. In fairness, the top 4 shirts in the basket were just set aside. But I have made a lot of headway towards the 180 5" squares needed, the borders for my Shooting Star blocks, and heavens, the pieces for the quilt back! They abound!! My scrap/string box also overfloweth.
I ended up cutting 3 widths of strips for the quilt back. 18", 11-1/2", and 6". The 11-1/2" was selected because it's the width of two 6" strips sewn side-by-side.
Here's before, after, and in the basket after (a different view):

Looking forward to seeing what you do with these.
Great post, I too have quite a collection of shirts, but lack the time to make anything from them :-(
