College classes in our area either just started or are starting this week--that is, provided that they are not in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. While we're hearing a great deal about the flooding in Houston (and well we should) there's not much being said about the surrounding areas, some quite a distance away. 
All that said, I thought that maybe we'd take a look at some of the quilts that are made specifically with a particular school in mind. In Louisiana, the big one is LSU, of course, and I've made a few tee-shirt memory quilts for former students who attended the purple and gold college.
My thinking is to show quilts in different styles and colors so that they can inspire you to make a quilt with your own alma mater in mind. These won't be just LSU or Louisiana colleges (though I could do that!) just a big selection concerned more with different styles and ideas. I really like how some people got creative with their blocks and others with block fillers.
I hope you enjoy these and that they inspire you in your own quilt-making endeavors.

Please remember the people who are affected by Hurrican Harvey as you go about your daily living this week. And a prayer would be nice, too.

Mary, all of the college quilts are fabulous. I especially like the one with the capital O. Which school is that? And the cogs and gears one is fabulous!
I've been praying for those affected by the storm. I just can't imagine the damage from all the flooding and those displaced from their homes.
These are so much prettier and more interesting thsn t shirt quilts. Wow. I love the variety and strong designs.
Oh Paige, everytime we turn on the TV the numbers have gone up. My sister lives just south of Houston. They are safe but I keep thinking how she could be any one of the people that we see on the news.
On a happier note: thanks for your kind words, both of you. I just thought it would be interesting to see other ways to celebrate a college accomplishment.
