I have 2 sons so plaid is great for their quilts. I made a graduation quilt for one son's BFF entirely of homespuns which are mostly plaid. Great quilt. He loves it.
|
I have used them. The very helpful advice I received from my quilt shop is: Don't try to follow the lines when cutting - you will drive yourself nuts.
Just lay the material out and cut :) saves alot of frustration and tears. |
I don't care for plaids at all and I make sure that I don't use them
|
I love plaids - using them for appliques of fruit, mushrooms, and other fun stuff.
|
I've used plaids, esp. in men's or little boy's quilts. Sometime I work them into the pattern; sometimes I use them for borders or pieced backings. I still have a good stash of them on hand for future projects.

Scrap Quilts are my favered. And I love using plaid in them.
|
Occasionally.
I have some Homespun cut out for a rag quilt, does that count? |
I love using plaids.

Turning Twenty is made from 20 fat quarters, very little waste when cutting. The basic pattern has ony three pieces to each block and the blocks are big, about 16". Ther are later patterns by the same designer, the blocks have more pieces. Here's a picture of one I made. They are fast and fun, no great skill involved. :thumbup:
