Having sons I have learned what colors "they like" isn't necessarily the choice of their wives! I would ask the bride what colors she likes and go from there...Maybe my guys are different...but in general they don't do the decorating!

I'm sure this is what happens most of the time! I just remembered that we made a quilt for my brother and his wife who have just divorced! I bet he doesn't have the quilt that we made for him either! Why is this the case? Whichever family made the quilt is the person who should keep the quilt! I'm sure this doesn't happen 90% of the time.

I agree that is might be a good idea to at least talk with the bride but if she went to OSU she might even request logo material. There is something in the water I suspect.
A good point about making the label a dedication to your nephew in honor of his wedding though.
And ghostrider I totally understand your pov, as well as all the M residents too.

I think you have to be a part of Buckeye nation to understand that one never outgrows the loyalty....and if you marry a Buckeye, you are a fan,like it or not! Lol!
Here are 2 Buckeye quilts I made for my adult sons- the first so a pattern that was a Mystery quilt from this board, and the second is a free pattern from Bonnie at Quiltville...3rd will be in the works after the holidays-probably a log cabin because I have lots of leftover strips. Go Bucks!
