Friday freebie - Plaidish quilt

 


This pattern is a free download here. I added it to my 2021 UFO challenge list for Jersey Modern Quilt Group with not much of a plan.  had reviewed my stash and realised that I have a lot of black and black and white fabrics as well as a whole basket of low volume fabrics. More recently I realised that I have a lot of yellow green fabrics and as I don't love green, I decided it was time to use some up. I pulled my scrap bags and a selection of fat quarters for each colour group and decided to get cutting. By the end of Iuesday, I had sewn up half a dozen blocks and cut all of the A and B blocks. It just remained to cut about 20 C blocks which are mainly green.


By Wednesday I had made great progress. It is an addictive project.


Fast forward to Thursday night and all but five of the blocks are cut and the fabric for each block is pinned and ready to sew together and bagged according to block type. I decided to focus mainly on the B block as there are only 12. These are now complete and on my design wall with what I've stitched so far. 

There is no rush with this quilt as I am waiting for a delivery of wadding. I must also check what backing might be suitable. I think I may have ordered the backing in the Sew Hot sale and just need to refresh my memory.
