Boy, have you come to the right place.
Go to the top of this page and click the "search" category.
Type in "Ohio Star" and get all the inspiration you need in the form of suggestions, pictures, tutorials.
When you're at a lost, remember the "search" category is your best friend. LOL
Good luck, I'll be looking for completed pics

OOPS!!!!! Misread, thought you were asking for Ohio Star Pattern. They say the eyes are the first fo go LOL
Anyway, if you ever need Ohio Stars, you know where to find them.

I made a scarlet and gray double irish chain and appliqued the block O in the center of the white blocks For my brother, and he absolutely loved it. He shows it off to evry visitor, and wraps himself in it for each game. This was a fairly quick and easy quilt to make.

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.

Soccertxi, I really like this quilt. It is beautiful and with the OSU as an accent block it makes the statment without being over the top. It is not something that will be put away with other memorabilia after collage! Very, very nice.

CandyAppleQuilt - I like that quilt! Looking at it makes me think that it could be adapted for any university. I see a big "I" for the Illini.

Okay, I found an OSU quilt kit at the Quilt show in Columbus two weeks and bought it. It is not big enough but I can order the additional fabric to add to the sides from the store Creations Sew Clever. Also, I am a symmetrical person and the pattern wasn't exactly designed the way I wanted so I am attaching a picture of the way it was sold to me (small one) and then the way that I am making it with the block O's lined up better for me. I have also created an applique for the Buckeye leaves and Buckeyes to add to each block "O". Maybe this will help.

Quilt pattern #2 - my new design

I actually made a hard copy of this quilt so I don't have to search in my Quiltmaker copies anymore!
