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.
ReplyDeleteLove those clips - super fun like my giant clothespins.
ReplyDeleteIt'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!
ReplyDeleteI love it! The plaids and your quilting look so good in the sun! Thanks again for sharing your Steppers pattern.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt; so masculine!
ReplyDeleteHave you run through all your plaid yet? LOL! Love the quilting, it creates so much movement.
ReplyDeletethis 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!
ReplyDeleteLove it, great guy quilt. What is the quilting pattern/Panto. Works really well.
ReplyDeleteYou really are the master of the plaids. Another fun quilt. I like the backing for this one too. Congrats on the finish!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I've made two plaid quilts and collecting fabric to make another one.
