Opinions again please

Boy oh boy when will she ever stop this? *LOL* Here is what I have:

I ordered the throw pillow cause I want to make a Red Sox quilt for my s-i-l. The company made an error and sent a pillow case instead. They wrote to me telling me to just keep the pillow case (no charge) and they'd reship the cushion.

My problem. For $19.95 the cushion is gorgeous! It's a very soft fabric like a cross between good flannel and velvet. The logo is fleece and very well attached.

The pillow case, on the other hand, has the word Boston in dark blue. It would be really easy to cut it to the 16"x16" square I want. It's 100% cotton jersey. But the logo is silk screened on... will it fade out? The fabric also is not as , stiff would you say?, as Kona which is what I hoped to make the rest of the quilt out of... if the colours are right.

I'm having a trouble with concentration today. I had a bad experience yesterday and my brain has gone to mush. I don't want to talk about it but imagine sitting on a highway with cars coming at you head on at 60+mph and no way to get out of their way. Scary stuff.

Anyway, this cushion is so darn gorgeous I hate to cut it up. So I'm thinking of using the pillow case and fuse plain white Kona to the back of it to give it the stabalization it needs to match the other fabrics.

I'm worried about the silk screen but since it's a quilt if she washes it in cold water and hangs it to dry it will be as good as a T-Shirt I figure.

I don't want to go to a lot of work making the quilt if the center is going to mess up. Guess I could always make my own logo later to applique on top though huh?

Thoughts?
