[ATTACH=CONFIG]569351[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]569352[/ATTACH]It is possible to quilt with proper tartan fabric as opposed to plaid. The first pic I used a lightweight tartan, the kind used for scarves or ladies plaids. The other is heavy weight which would be used to make kilts. The heavy weight was by far the easiest fabric to work with. Matching the bands was incredibly difficult (for me). TBH I wouldn't attempt making a kilt unless it was for a small child as it requires several yards of fabric. Would look lovely though as appliquéd pieces for cushion covers. The downside of what I have done is the loss of the visual impact of the beautiful tartans. I have some more tartan fabric gifted to me which I won't be reducing to such small pieces as I have in these.
