Not a good idea. I'm sure others can give you an explanation of why it would not be a good idea. Do a search of the board for many posts about T-shirt quilts. It will give you many hints about making T-shirt quilt. Welcome to the board, jewels.

you need the fusible to stop the stretch

I think my is the same Pellon as mentioned above. It is called featherweight. You don't want the t-shirts to move being that they are a knit. I guess you could use fusible batting if you are doing a QAYG method.

Batting does not hold the tee shirt in place. The shirts are stretchy and need to be stabilized with a fuable interfacing so they don't stretch. Also, long arm quilters need the shirts stable because the will stretch when quilted. The tee shirts 'crawl' without stabilizer when the machine is moved over them and it is a hot mess.
