You can strip piece the "O" emblem easily for any size you want. I'm attaching jpegs

This is great. Is there more info available - like how long are the strips, and what are the angles?

I know there is a site that specializes in all the school and sport icons... I cannot remember the site... I came across it on the shop hop... if I find it i will let you know.. :?:

I didn't calculate the angles - just did it on my drawing program freehand. You can take the jpeg to Kinkos or Staples and have them enlarge it to whatever size you want. They can go as large as 3ft x 4ft or so. Then, just measure the finished sizes of the strips and make your strip sets. Cut the Kinkos copy into sections and lay it out on your strips as a cutting diagram. Should work okay - need to add a seam allowance.

Oh, I thought you meant a quilt for the university. Ignore if I'm wrong.

That is an awesome quilt :thumbup: :thumbup: Now, being the diehard buckeye fan, where did you get that pattern? Gotta make one!

Well, my daughter made the quilt, and just copied something she saw. No Pattern.

Quiltmaker has a good pattern. The center block is appliqued school letters..and the rest of the quilt is nine patch on point of school colors. Let me see if I can find a picture and I will post it.

Here is a site that has that quilt. You have to scroll WAAAY down. The picture is of people sitting in the stands with a quilt.
Its called School Spirit. PM if you have questions on this one.

I also made a USC quilt. I scanned the logo and then used Wonder Under to make a machine applique. I just edge stitched it..I'm not good at satin stitch. I did have USC fabric, But the blocks are just postitive and negative of the 2 colors.
