I would NOT add the additional weight to the quilt. They are heavy enough with just the top being made from t-shirts. Also, the bulk on both sides just might make any sewing machine to skip stitches because of the bulk. Just something to consider.

So you are thinking I should use fabric as the backing...

Being a professional machine quilter, my machine would handle the two sided t-shirts, but it would certainly make the quilt very heavy. That said, if you decide to use the t-shirts on the back, the pellon would help to keep them from stretching.
