A good Geometric pattern for geometric fabric
 
2 Attachment(s)
I'm on a roll this week, playing in my sewing room, pulling fabrics out and saying, "I wonder what this will go with...."
So I've had this multicolored plaid fabric for a very long time. At one point, I made a couple of zippered cosmetics cases out of it, but hesitated on using it in a quilt. It would need to not 'compete' with other fabrics or be wrong for the style of the quilt.
Then I found just enough off-white fabric left over from something else, and a deep red that somebody traded to me at one time, and used the pattern called "Pinwheels and Rectangles" by Quilt in a Day publications.

It went together quickly.

I'm really surprised how much my husband and son like this one. I think it might be good as a lap rope for someone in a wheelchair, or as a wall-hanging.

I apologize to those who may get dizzy looking at this!

That is a great piece of fabric. I agree with hubby and son. Quilt is great!

Wow! That is fantastic! I tend to not think I like plaids for quilts, and then I see something like your quilt and realize how wrong I am! Just needs the right pattern and accompanying fabrics. Great job.

Great Job! Wish I could put together colors and fabrics like that!

WOW - That is a very nice quilt.

It's the perfect pattern for using plaid. I'll have to bookmark this one because I hesitate from using plaid. It is always so hard to keep the pattern lined up but with this one it doesn't matter. Great Quilt!

lfstamper 12-30-2011 08:01 PM

Love the colors!

fxsts93kf 12-30-2011 08:03 PM

I love plaids and am always looking for ways to use them. And your is double good cause who doesn't like pinwheels! Love it!

cathyvv 12-30-2011 08:43 PM

I LOVE it, too! I'll probably copy it one of these days...it looks quick and easy - just my kind of quilt!

YES! Perfect description! That is why I held on to the fabric so long, worrying about the possibility of the fabric not being printed exactly to the straight-of-grain.

I love the simplicity of the pattern and the fabric combination. It looks so crisp and comfortable. It seems as though you waited just long enough for all the pieces to come together! Thanks for sharing.
