I am having to write this post under the cover of darkness so I won’t be detected, because the other half of this household is a proud alumni of the “the other university and he bleeds purple”. But I did not graduate from either school, and my taxes help to pay for both of these great universities, so… I did some research and learned—
#1. “Rock Chalk” originally referred to a type of chalk found in KS that is similar to the Cliffs of Dover, England.
#2. “Jayhawk” originally was a term used in the Civil War to refer to guerrilla fighters in Kansas and later was used to refer to all citizens of Kansas.
#3. A student at KU may chose from 325+ degree programs!
#4. Jayhawks love basketball for good reason with an unparalleled history of championships.
#5. Many famous and successful folk have graduated from KU including 3 astronauts.
AND there are 60 Alumni Chapters worldwide! I know there are many, many proud Jayhawks out there and do I have a prize for you!
Current and vintage t-shirts were used to create this history book quilt of school pride. The quilt measures 81″ x 97″ (king size) and is machine quilted. It is totally machine washable, so don’t be afraid to use it on the couch, enjoying your favorite snack while watching your team win the championship!

In our home, we hang our “fan/pride/school” quilts in the stair well, visible from main level and the basement. If you purchase this quilt, a hanging sleeve can be added to the back so it can be hung in your home or office for all to see. This unique KU quilt is $600.
