It is beautiful. Have fun with your LSU project!

you should be fine even if you do decide to use some of the licensed fabric. there's a huge question about this topic but, basically, once you purchase the fabric, it's yours to do what you want with it. but just using the colors is ok.

Thanks for the answers on the LSU idea. Confirmed what I hoped. As for the pattern for the above quilt, none. Just played around till I liked it. Thanks again.

love your quilt. good luck on your auction quilt.

I cannot imagine that if you make a quilt with LSU fabric in a donation quilt to raise money that there is any law being broken. They already were paid for the fabric - they got the money they were entitled to. I see NFL and MLB fabric used all the time in such projects.

I second ManiacQuilter2 -- you can't copyright colors. (I have heard that paint companies can copyright NAMES of colors.)
If there is a fabric made in the color you are allowed to use it, just like I could, without intending, make a quilt with a college's colors when I don't know they are.

You can even use logo'd fabrics. You're not using them for a commercial purpose, if you are donating the quilt. Even for commercial use, there is a great deal of evidence that as long as you purchased the fabric it's yours to do with as you please. What you cannot do is claim that it is an official or branded product.

no problem at all, there is no copy wright law on colors.
