Normally I fussy cut plaids too, as the off grain appearance bugs me to no end. However, sometimes that just isn't possible. I had a whole stack of flannel plaids to make pajama pants and decided the material was too thin and wouldn't wear well enough in the stress areas, like knees and butts LOL, so I started cutting a quilt-as-you-go for our daughter. Here is the result. Nothing matches, but in the grand scheme of things, it came out lovely and was her favorite cuddle quilt, until her Christmas gift this year.
