After adding in the ¼”, the finished block will be 8.5”x16.5”. You will round up the 4.5” side to 8” and 13.5” side to 16”.
You have a logo or print that is 4.5”x13.5”. Then you will add in your ¼” on all sides. You will round up the 3.25” side to 4” and your 10” side to 12”. You have a logo or print that is 3.25” by 10”. After that, you will add ¼” seam allowances on all sides. Here’s the secret to collage style quilts – you know before cutting that every single block size will be rounded up to one of these numbers – 4,8,12, or 16 (or any factor of 4). If you're doing multiple quilts or sew a lot, I think the investment of a heat press is a huge time saver, and they are reasonable in price and versatility. I use a heat press to adhere interfacing to shirts my press is set to 350 degrees F for 20 seconds. Finish prepping all shirts with interfacing. After it’s cool, make sure the interfacing has adhered to the t-shirt. You will lay the iron on one section, hold for about 10-20 seconds, and move on. Place the interfacing bumpy side down on the backside of the logo or desired section of shirt, lay an extra scrap t-shirt on top of it, and iron on the interfacing according to package instructions. Take a shirt and roughly cut a piece of interfacing that is larger than the print/logo. Once you get confident, you can use your rotary cutter to make all the cuts this makes it go a lot faster with smoother lines! Finish cutting all your shirts before proceeding. If you have a large logo on the front or back, make sure you give yourself as much room as possible when cutting. Use scissors to cut off the sleeves, up the sides, and through the shoulder tops, disconnecting the front from the back. This is to help the cutting and interfacing steps go quicker. Quickly pre-iron all your shirts (only the sides you’re using). *This is an intermediate level quilt top. 
I used around 60 shirts in this quilt if I could only use 12”x12” blocks, my quilt would be the size of a house (…that definitely would be warm and fuzzy…) or I would have to cut down to about 16 shirts.
