Decision: Plaid Quilt - Maybe Two.....

Now that I have finished my Pinwheel Quilt...see picture further on...I have decided to tackle my plaids again..

I have so many and such variety....the only thing in common with all of them is that they are Plaid...


Big plaid, little plaid, lots of green plaid, I plan to use them all.....and probably won't even put a dent in the supply... I May want to get rid of the rest of them after I finish the (2) quilts I have in mind.  Or, I might want to wait until my eyes become uncrossed working with them first. 


And I haven't even dug into the container yet...

My first plaid quilt will be a repeat pattern that I liked and made...shown here with the first cuts.....


Don't know what the borders will look like, but the plaids will be in the middle section along with their white or light beige companions.  I thought a diagonal placement would work okay.  I plan to add one more row and make this a little bigger...it originally was about 50 x 50......Will be using my Easy Angle ruler...once I refresh my memory....

There is another pattern I have in mind.  It is on the cover of a catalog I received from Annie's....large light blocks with angled rectangles within....That is for later...if I still decide to use the plaids...

I promised myself not to start a mental list of to-do quilts....if I can help it...

Oh, the little piles to the right up above?  That is for my leader and ender bow ties.  I thought while I was cutting, I might as well cut a little more...they will be incorporated with the bow tie quilt I will Eventually make.

List, but not listing....
Now is there a conflict somewhere in the above two paragraphs????

A Finished Quilt

One you have seen in progress....

It is bathing as I type,,,,

Do ya'll cross your fingers and hope the quilts turn out looking okay after the first wash?  Color Catchers, of course, are in there doing their job.  I am hoping the pinwheels keep their shape and all is okay.  I'll pass this through the dryer very quickly so as not to drip and will lay it out to air dry after that.  Then into a box and away it goes...

  1. Yipee! A cute finish. I love plaids, but, I've not sewn with them yet. I do have a few sitting around.
