Maybe I should call it the Phase of Plaid? Anyways I have been cutting up a lot of it!
Full Confession - I started these blocks a little bit ago...because a girl can never have too many projects.... and then the last time I worked on it I got a few more blocks done.....
I also started some string blocks. Our Heartstrings group is doing a Memorial Day Weekend sew along - and using brown strings in the center, and what ever you want for the rest. So i thought !!!! PLAID!!!
As the sow poke in the group I thought if I started now - I might have a good number of blocks by then! Oh!! And yesterday was the first Sunday of my Happiness Project that included sewing 1 hour a day. I woke up determined, and I told the boys I HAD to sew... and they LET me, no problem.
After I got my one ( or a little more) hour in I was such a happy camper - not much bothered me.....

What a great quilt. I like plaids too! Is the background cheddar? It really makes the blocks pop.
ReplyDeleteLove the Jacob's Ladder blocks. You can't have too many projects going at once, I say. Keeps you from getting bored.
ReplyDeleteThat orange really sings!
ReplyDeleteWhat an eye-catching quilt - lovely! And only one boo-boo isn't bad, compared to the amount of ripping I've done on some quilts when I haven't spotted glitches early enough!
ReplyDeleteI really like your Jacob's Ladder and that cheddar. I too have become addicted to plaids, or at least the collection of them! :o)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the orange and your attitude. A day without stitching definitely makes a difference in the happiness factor.
ReplyDeleteAdd me in to those who thing the orange really adds some pop! I, too, think there's no such thing as having too many projects.
ReplyDeleteI used to say a girl can't have too many projects.....then I counted mine! I am at 42 at the moment.
ReplyDeleteThose colors are so......fascinating. What a fantastic image with that orange that seems to be floating.
ReplyDeleteSeveral years ago I bought a bunch of plaid fat quarters and then they just sat there. Then a couple of years ago they became cats for a quilt for my hubby. Funny thing, I haven't bought anymore plaid but there is more in that drawer than there was before the cats. ??
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love this quilt! I've been collecting plaids for several years but haven't started a project with them yet. Your's is really inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI'm about 3/4 of the way through my plaid phase but I have to say, this quilt may slow me down a bit. I just LOVE the orange with the plaid. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the secondary pattern these blocks make! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteI never considered myself a plaid girl, but your quilt may have changed my mind! Love how it is turning out.
ReplyDeleteHomespuns seem to be out of fashion at the moment (Joann's used to have many shelves of them; now just a few). To me they evoke cozy warmth. I like your cheddar-and plaid ladders very much!
ReplyDeleteLove your Jacob's ladder - it's very striking!
ReplyDeleteAlycia! This is gonna be SOOOOOO awesome!
