How about blocks based on the Saltire - the Scottish flag - a diagonal cross

Hi from a Scots quilter. There is a Scottish Cross pattern that can be gotten from the "all quilt patterns" web site.
Any pattern that has a mountain or sea design would fit just fine. Also any clan tartan in nine patch squares or the Scottish flag design would be a nice touch.
I am very proud to have been born and raised in Scotland and embrace my heritage in everything I do....

Don't know what happened. I posted SEVERAL links but none showed up. I just Googled "Scottish design quilt" and there are LOTS of links. I'm sure you'd like one or all of them.

Georgia Bonesteel did a Scottish Thistle in plaid that was pretty. In her "More Lap Quilting" book,I believe.

I would think any thing with tartan plaids and a version of the thistle would be Scottish. I know that I found a paper pieced celtic knot on quilters cache at one time. Or quilted celtic knots in corner stones, perhaps?

My, that paperpieced Scottish thistle block is beautiful! If I were going to do a Scottish quilt, that's the block I would go for!

How about the disappearing 4 patch? All squares togeter resemble plaid. You could vary the cuts to make an irregular lookig plaid. I would definitely add the thistle as applique. HMMM maybe I will make one now.
