I bought about 4 yds and was amazed at how good the quality was....images are bright and clear. Was in JoAnn's again recently and they have Ohio State fleece as well which is, also, bright with clear images. As far as a pattern, the men in my family just like "simple" so will make a quilt of 12" OSU blocks alternating with 12" solid white blocks and probably won't use borders but just a binding.
