ok now I am worried....my Grandson did not like the printed fabrics so I purchased the solid color 'Kona' and am almost finished with a 3 foot high logo in a 6 foot x 6 foot quilt....it is for his bed in his off campus house.....no selling involved.

Don't sell it on the internet and you should be fine.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've been saying this for years after consulting two copyright attorneys, two patent attorneys and other legal authorities. The basis of licensed fabric royalties is FIRST SALE DOCTRINE, and it applies to software, books, music, etc. As long as the item was purchased legally, the designer gets their cut from the sale, and you are free to do whatever you wish with your purchase (except claim the design as your own). That is why there is nothing illegal to re-selling used books, music, and software on Amazon.com, eBay or garage sales. Designers and authors of copyrighted material get their cut at the actual sale of the item - they don't get a second bite at the apple on resale of those items and they can't dictate how you can or cannot use their product; the only thing you can't do is reproduce it or claim it as your own. Licensed fabric companies who pull this crap will NEVER get my business on any level - the bigger businesses (Disney, Mars, et al) who lend their images to licensed fabric designers dictate those terms to the fabric companies in their license agreements and they, too, will NEVER get my business on any level.
