Are you a proud alum of a college or university? Or do you support a child or grandchild who is studying at a college or university? If you answered “yes” to either of those questions, you may want to demonstrate your affiliation with the institution–especially if you attend events on campus. Missouri Star can help you display your affections with collegiate fabric.

Collegiate fabric cotton quilts pull double duty as tablecloths at tailgate parties. Then they can go right into the stadium with you on chilly days. Less to pack! Even when it’s not cold, folded college fabric quilts make a much softer place to sit than a hard stadium bench. 

Speaking of tailgate parties–or even game day parties at home–the host or hostess may want an apron. Why not have one made of college sports team fabric? May we suggest the Sloppy Joes Apron or the Farmhouse Apron?

How about a table runner made with college sports fabric for your game watch-party? The Making Waves Table Runner would be lovely in college prints and team-color solids.

Many stadiums, arenas, and concert halls will only allow folks to enter with see-through bags. Missouri Star has an easy Clear Vinyl Tote Bag Pattern. It would look great executed in college fabric prints on the base, trim, and straps. Misty demonstrates how to make this bag here.

If you are sending a child or grandchild off to college, there is no better gift than a quilt made from college fabrics by the yard. Imagine the Carpenter’s Square Quilt completed in school colors. For example, Iowa State University’s colors are cardinal and gold. Imagine Carpenter’s Square with solid red in the background and pieced college fabrics comprising the pattern and border. Stunning, right? Find a pattern that you like and swap in college cotton fabric prints and matching solids.

The college student sleeping under that quilt might like to have a pillowcase made from collegiate fabric by the yard to match. You can watch Jenny and her grandson make a pillowcase in this tutorial video.

Whether you are a distinguished alum, a current student, or a wanna-be, you might enjoy having a backpack or crossbody bag made from college fabric by the yard to express your fandom everywhere you go. Check out the Range Backpack Pattern and the Redwood Tote or the Zippy Bag.
