Do you find that you use plaids very often? Or do avoid them?
|
I have seen some beautiful quilts, but I rarely use them.
|
I'm collecting some for a house quilt that I want to make... I love plaids! :)
|
I have used them in small quanities, but I am nervous of them not being straight and being hard to work with.
|
I love using homespun plaids when I make quick Turning Twenty quilts for guys. I still have 4 to make for Christmas or I will be hearing complaints from some of our sons, they all want one.
|
I have a bunch of different plaids. Haven't used them yet but am still collecting them. I think they'd make a great backing for a quilt. That's not to say I wouldn't use it on the front, I just don't have a specific pattern in mind at this time.
|
I love plaids with florals and stripes. I don't like homespun plaids very much though. The weave on homespuns tends to be loose and they ravel really bad.
|
I have not used them, but I do have them in my stash, I inherited them from my gram, along with polka dots(the old fashion kind. But, I have seen some beautiful quilts made with them.
|
I've made several plaid quilts
Usually I mix in some checks and stripes. Have a large Rubbermaid filled with plaids, including men's shirts from friends and yard sales |
Used one plaid in a crazy nine patch. It worked.
