I started this one when I didn't know what the color for our RSC was going to be in May
and because Lois gave me a bag of plaids that just had to be dug into.....
and now!!!
Its a finish!!
When it was up on the design wall I thought it was kind of Muddy in color... you know - it all blended in - but now that it is quilted and hanging in the sun... I disagree with myself!! I think there is a good variety of Plaids in there!!
This is an up close for Judy - she asked about my flamingo clips - they are towel clips for pool chairs. I don't always have a pool - but! now I have my flamingos ( I also have margarita glasses haha)
A quick shot of the back. I found this Grey shirting in my stash and I think it just worked SO very well!
And you know... one more gratuitous shot - just in case you couldn't see the quilting ;-)
A couple of you asked how many blocks I make for each quilt - and the answer is - I don't know.
I just started sewing these strips together until I got tired, then I laid them up on the design wall - and Ta da!
I actually had one extra - that will go into my block bin....
again - here is the block tutorial Block Tutorial

totally, a guy quilt to love! love the quilting design too. PS, i made my first stepper flimsy last weekend. LOL in RSC blues. it is waiting for the pin basting day. I used the gocutter and cut most of them from the scrap bins.
Love those clips - super fun like my giant clothespins.
It's not muddy at all and the texture of the quilting pulls you right in to see all the lovely detail of the plaids. I don't think you could have found a more perfect backing if you scoured all the quilt shops, too!
I love it! The plaids and your quilting look so good in the sun! Thanks again for sharing your Steppers pattern.
I love this quilt; so masculine!
Have you run through all your plaid yet? LOL! Love the quilting, it creates so much movement.
this is gorgeous! Not to be morbid-my dad wears only plaid shirts (short-sleeved) and jeans so I have dibs on them after he has died so I can make each of us a plaid quilt--this is a just right!
Love it, great guy quilt. What is the quilting pattern/Panto. Works really well.
You really are the master of the plaids. Another fun quilt. I like the backing for this one too. Congrats on the finish!
Very pretty. I've made two plaid quilts and collecting fabric to make another one.
