I would ask him again to see if it was a joke or really their color preference. I hope to work on a black, red and gray charity quilt soon.

Beautiful quilt.

Check to see if these are his favorite colors or his color schemes. I'd make something that was designed for him and then it would be more special. After all, you want them to use it and if it isn't made with colors that he has in his decor, it may end up in a closet.

I'm an MSU Spartan mom, SIL, aunt (x2), and ex-wife and even I support the scarlet and gray Ohio Star idea...just don't expect me to support the team! LOL There are some really dramatic Ohio Star quilt patterns that would look great in those colors. Does the bride-to-be have the same academic loyalty?

The colors are great but I would avoid OSU quilt itself. As a wife I appreciate a little more of a grownup look, not one tied to a college. Screams dorm roo. Or frat house to me.

Love Cindi's quilt and think it doesn't scream college quilt. I think only OSU people would get that it
has the school colors. Even if the bride isn't from OSU the quilt is beautiful on its own. Also, because of the red
one could think Valentine's day, 4th of July, Christmas...doesn't have to be put away after football, basketball
season.
