Plaidish Quilt

I cut out this quilt before going on a week-long quilt retreat. It takes lots of fabrics sorted into light, medium, and dark to make the plaid pattern come through. Though I used many scraps, I was challenged to find enough different darks in my stash to cut all the needed pieces. I pieced the top while on retreat.

Now it's finished!

I quilted a simple design using an arc ruler to quilt diagonally across,  in both directions, followed by vertical and horizontal serpentine stitching with a walking foot.

The quilt back is a P&B Textiles colorweave 108" wide back in the color sky. 

This Bismarck palm in our front yard has become my new favorite place to photograph finished quilts. Those branches are unbelievably tough, and cupped on the upper side so binder clips hold the quilt in place. I only had to use a step stool to be able to reach this limb! Plaidish is 65" X 83".

You can find the free Plaidish pattern here.

I'm pretty sure this will be my last 2019 finished quilt. It's number 17-  six small quilts; five medium quilts; and six large quilts. I will not make this many quilts in 2020! Linda
