There is a product called Terial Magic that is great for stabilizing tshirts for quilts. It's a liquid that you saturate the tshirt with, let it dry and it stiffins them and makes sewing and quilting a breeze. No additional stabilizer is needed. Once the quilt is finished you wash it out and the shirts become soft again. Awesome stuff!!

She would definitely have to experiment with scraps. Reversible applique may be her solution. Leave the t-shirts square then cut the shape out of the center of a square of regular fabric and place the regular fabric over the t-shirt and fuse that way, with the cut out over the T-shirt emblem she is trying to showcase. Will make for a really heavy quilt though. And for some stressful pressing, trying to get those shapes fused properly with a pressing cloth blocking your view, etc. Maybe she could try doing reversible with elmers washable school glue.
