i would name it [name] inspired by [famous name] so that it is not confused to be associated with that person.

It's your quilt. You can call it anything you want in your own home. I agree with Tartan.

Is it a personal quilt, to keep or be given to an individual ... or is it a quilt for sale? If for sale I would use something like tribute to ... if it's a personal quilt you can call it anything you want as you are not profiting from someone's name.
