Yep. I am still working thru the piles.... this pile of plaids ( the PPP quilts) I found in October and ended up with two quilt tops.... and now!!
The Finishes!!
Number one!
They used the whole pile of fabrics I had out, and each quilt can out to be 50 x 54 inches - so not super big, lap sized? maybe.
Are you ready for the outtakes??
I had visions of the gorgeous mountains behind us, and the plaids just glowing in the sun...
and the wind....
Well - it had other ideas.... so
we had to find some sheltered places instead. Which was fine. By the way - we hiked here this day... and the temps said 35 - but the temps forgot to remind me of the wind chill... I am not sure it was above 7 deg with the wind!! But it was gorgeous!!

Congrats on moving through those piles! Plaid quilts always look so comforting.
ReplyDeleteAnd what some people do for love!!!
A great style quilt that could use up lots of fabric fast! At least you weren't wilting with it only being 35 with wind!!
ReplyDeleteLove love love!!! Such handsome quilts!
ReplyDeleteSomething about plaids that make a quilt look especially cozy. I had to laugh at the outtakes. :D
ReplyDeleteOMG love me those plaids! Great idea to use them like this; plaids all seem to go together.
ReplyDeleteLovely finishes on those plaid quilts! Would you share what pantograph you used on that first plaid quilt? I really like that!
ReplyDeleteTwo quilted and bound finishes; what a week! They look wonderful and I bet they are going to be perfect lap quilts. :)
ReplyDeleteYou always have great quilts photographed in stunning outdoor places. What skies!
ReplyDeleteI’m pretty partial to plaids and you have some fabulous ones! A good cozy lap size! At least for most. ! Maybe not your tall guys but someone will love them!
ReplyDeleteLove the attempt to photograph the quilt! That's why I usually take mine inside or laying on the berm behind our house. LOL Love the color mix!!
ReplyDeleteHi Alycia, that wind chill will get you every time! I love the softer colours of your second plaid quilt. Congrats on your two finished.
ReplyDeleteNicely done! I fought the wind today too! I have a stack of plaids too, might have to do this. They look so cozy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts, quilting and I loved the 'out-takes'!
ReplyDeleteThe quilting on both is so wonderful. I love the curves with the straight plaid lines, and the diagonal quilting also adds such a degree of depth. And of course, your plaids are wonderful. It's amazing how well they go together! The wind... well, yeah. We got it, too!
ReplyDeleteI really love this style of quilt. I've never seen this type before. The colors are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe quilts turned out great!
ReplyDeleteYour plaid quilts are fabulous. I love the quilting on them too! What is the large squiggle one called, if it is a pantograph? Fun seeing the outtakes of the photos...it is often a challenge, isn't it!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the quilts... AND the outtakes, Alycia!!! :o))
ReplyDeleteOh I love those plaids! Nice finish. Man you guys really do some great hiking, and actually those mountains are gorgeous - love the outtakes!
