All About Plaids

 Finished this quilt today.  The pattern is one from The Original Turning Twenty Just Got Better pattern booklet by Tricia Cribbs.  I used the All-About-Plaids fabric line from Riley Blake.  The border is Charcoal from the Timeless Treasures "Mix" collection.  Plaids & border fabric were purchased at The Stitching Room in Utah which is the quilt/fabric store that I work at part time.

I had a piece of flannel for the backing but was short just a bit so I put a light gray flannel strip between the two cuts of the purple plaid flannel.  Et Voila!  A fabulous soft & warm backing.

The quilt measures approximately 72" x 86".

Now what shall I make for my next project?   **insert giggle**

Since this pattern ends up being half square triangles,
you can set the blocks in many different ways.
I love the false pocket that appeared when I put the tan
plaids together in the center of the quilt top.

Of course the label had to be the name of the fabric line.

I quilted this one with an edge to edge

Mystic Cat

 I had purchased two panels called "Mystic Cat" so I designed this quilt in order to use the panels.   My initial designs are usually done on Post-It notes as I work each block out.  I will actually create the pattern for this one in a usable format as I have other panels I want to use, together with the remaining "Mystic Cat" panel in my stash.

The quilt finishes at approximately 60" x 76".  I used bright colors that went with the colors in the panel.  All fabrics & batting used in this quilt were purchased from The Stitching Room in Utah with the exception of the panel which I purchased from Missouri Star Quilt Co.

To Do List:   Enjoy your sewing/crafting/quilting journey each day.  Make someone smile.  Give them a hug (yes I still believe in hugs).  Thank your Heavenly Father for the gifts in your life.  Count your blessings.  


Finished at approximately 60" x 76"

Love these bright happy colors!
