Default Chicago Cubs I might have made color mistake???

Friend asked me to make a quilt to celebrate World Series win for her beloved Cubs. I made an embroidered/appliqued "logo" and then the word Chicago. I think I should have put the blue as the outline. I hope it isn't terrible. I know she will love it anyway, also need to know color for binding, red or blue?? Any input appreciated![ATTACH=CONFIG]561991[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]561992[/ATTACH]

Very nice. My niece and her family would love it. Their youngest girl (5)has to wear her Cubs hat to school every day. She tells everyone she meets they are a Cubs family. I would bind in blue.

Hope that's not a copyright design enfringement!

Very nice quilt, it looks great. I'm guessing you won't have to worry about copyrights as long as you aren't mass producing for sale. I made a quilt for my husband about 8 years ago that included the Ford logo which I made with a combination of applique and machine edging. I had asked my lqs to embroider the logo at first, as this was a service they offered. She refused due to copyright concerns. So before I made mine I emailed the Ford company asking for permission to use the logo and I never heard back from them. So my theory is they aren't too worried about one little old quilter out there making one quilt using their name. I guess they still could come after me, but I think it would be really bad press to go after a grandma.

I know the MLB cares greatly about the copyrights but in this case it is not for sale and they cannot stop anyone from making something for their own use. Besides, Chicago is so happy to finally win a World Series they won't care, they want to keep the celebrating on-going.

It looks great! I think I might bind in blue if that looks good with the backing fabric too.

I might go for a red flange around the center panel. I think it might help colors to pop. Then blue binding.

I think it looks great! A blue binding would be my vote.
