Plaid Pile Project quilts and !!! Finished ( or not) Friday!!!

 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!



Please note.. It is bound.... oh ya!!! and it is plaid ....


and Number two!!!



These were fun and fast - kind of Lasagna Quilt Style ( Atkinson designs) and kind of Jelly Roll Race...

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!!

It is now your turn to brag!!!

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!!

Love love love!!! Such handsome quilts!

Something about plaids that make a quilt look especially cozy. I had to laugh at the outtakes. :D

OMG love me those plaids! Great idea to use them like this; plaids all seem to go together.

Lovely finishes on those plaid quilts! Would you share what pantograph you used on that first plaid quilt? I really like that!

Two quilted and bound finishes; what a week! They look wonderful and I bet they are going to be perfect lap quilts. :)

I’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!

Love 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!!

Hi Alycia, that wind chill will get you every time! I love the softer colours of your second plaid quilt. Congrats on your two finished.

Sandra Walker said...

Nicely done! I fought the wind today too! I have a stack of plaids too, might have to do this. They look so cozy!

Beautiful quilts, quilting and I loved the 'out-takes'!

Snowcatcher said...

The 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!

I really love this style of quilt. I've never seen this type before. The colors are lovely.

Vicki W said...

The quilts turned out great!

Kathleen said...

Your 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!

LOVE the quilts... AND the outtakes, Alycia!!! :o))

Linda said...
