Highland Plaid

Four bins full of plaid fabrics have been waiting for that lightbulb moment . . . for years now. Inspiration from Bonnie's site, as well as lovely examples from Lynn's site finally convinced me to play along.


After a bit of tweaking, I think I've gotten it right.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Okay now this is the FIRST TIME I've seen this in a way that I really liked. This is a quilt I could get under and snuggle with. Wow.

That is beautiful. The colors really pop. Great job.

Great quilt. It looks like mountain majesties. I have yet to catch the plaid shirt fever, but if I keep seeing these wonderful quilts from thrift store shirts, I may become a convert.

Pam said...

That is a very good pattern for plaids. Love it!

Carolyn said...

Yeah, I think you got it right! It looks great!

That's such a clever way to use the plaids. Full of wonderful colour!

I have often looked at this pattern, but I would not have thought about doing it in plaids. It looks terrific.

Me too, love it! You get so much done, it is awesome.

Do you use thrift-store plaid shirts, or fabric?

I bet it would be great in flannel.

Thanks for sharing, and for all the inspiration!
