I use plaids from time to time - I don't stress about it much, as far a absolutely straight grainline is concerned. It does help to starch the plaid well first, esp. if it is a woven and not printed design.

Not much. I've seen lots of beautiful quilts with plaids, but I'm kind of neurotic. If the plaid is not "square" within the block, it would make me crazy.

They are not my thing so I avoid them.

Love plaids, I like to make scrappy and country, I do not get my 'nickers in a twist' if the pattern is not straight on the grain, as far as I am concerned that is part of the charm!

I have not used plaids in my quilts. But I am collecting used men's shirts from the thrift store to make DH a quilt. I have seen several quilts made from shirts and love them!! I am no where near being a perfect quilter so I won't mind if the plaids are crooked or not.

I do like the plaids. I have seen some gorgeous quilts made with them. I am collecting them so someday I'll be able to make a quilt with them.

There are so many pretty plaids out there, but I avoid them like the plague.

I LOVE plaids. I am constantly on the look out to buy more, more, more! I also look for interesting patterns to use them in. I, too, don't care if they are a little skeewampus, more charm!

I've used plaids in scrappy quilts, and I am trying (very slowly) to make a double wedding ring quilt with plaids. The long rings (several different patches make the rings) are an odd shape and I am NOT going to worry about being on grain, or matching plaids! Now I just have to get to doing it. I just have a couple quilts in front of that one.

I love plaid. I use them when I can. Just got some at LQS end of bolt sale.
