    I love the colors. I would pick up a teal or the aqua color that is in the plaid. Log cabin or triangle sewn into squares woudl be nice. Can design ur own pattern then . Good luck. I gotta feelin this will be beautiful.

    I love to use plaids in quilts. I think green would be an interesting color to add also. I made a Queen Size rag quilt using flannel. My GKs love it.

    this plaid appears to be woven, so keeping the cuts straight would be a heck of a lot easier than a printed plaid.

    Pretty plaid! That navy looks great with it! I'd keep it in bigger pieces. Simple design. Maybe add a soft yellow, if needed.
