Hey Quilty Lori, if you want to do the attic windows pattern, there are very easy instructions for this in Quilts for Baby Easy as ABC, by Ursula Reikes. Her method avoids doing the Y seam and the book is still available at JoAnn's.

Hello,
I have been asked to make a MSU quilt for a friend. Did you use a pattern to make the M in the middle? Or is that made using applique?

Thank you.

Shadow quilts are easy and fun to make. Just look up shadow quilts online.

When I have to make a college theme quilt, I go for the college colors in solids. Simple patterns. I then use the themed fabric for a wide border. Collegiate fabrics seem so expensive and some patterns don't cut up very well. I have even used fleece in a college theme for the back.

My husband wanted me to make a college sports themed quilt for his Aunt. He lacked the vision to see my sketches and many years have gone by, but when I showed him the themed sports material he was sold. I made "Aunt Debbie Bleeds Blue" completely from start to finish in 2021.

This is an original design/layout, but it is just based on fan and star blocks with solid areas. I use a puffier batting and do less quilting than is currently popular, I'm pretty happy with how it came out. It was mostly luck that the star I chose fit perfectly with my fan block template, quilt math and standard divisions for the win (ftw -- as the gamers say).

Despite my machine going into the shop twice and various other struggles, it got to Aunt Debbie just in time for Michigan to beat Ohio in the big game. And then they went on to win the championship and beat Iowa. Not a coincidence I say -- I'm claiming credit for making the lucky quilt!!

This thread is 10 years old and I'm not sure the OP is still here. But I suspect the M is either applique or cut out of a pre-printed panel.

I'm with Sewflower, just go for the school colors for the front, use a theme fabric for the backing. My favorite pattern to use is Eleanor Burns, Day and Night. It can be made in two color or three-color stars. The book comes with the ruler.
