Plaids!

 Plaids and plains, that is!  At last, this quilt has a border.  Hurrah!!
 I find if I cut plaids on the length of grain, and use scissors, they come out much more flat and straight.   Just cut along one of the lines in the plaid!
 The little hexie blocks I was given are becoming this.  The hexies are different sizes, and so I am appliqueing  them down to individual blocks.
Two Tiny Tuesday blocks are next.  Caught up?  But tomorrow is Tuesday again!  LOL!!!





Have a great day, everyone!

What a wonderful collection of plaids and checks. I love the way you have arranged them into one gorgeous quilt.

Oh my goodness that is a lit of flying geese, and the quilt just soars!

I agree on following a line when cutting plaid borders and sashings. Your geese quilt looks wonderful!
A cute hexie quilt with that pretty sashing. Appliqueing to a background is the best way to deal with hexie flowers of varying sizes, IMHO. I have 30-something large ones that will get that treatment one day. I may even machine applique them when it gets right down to it.
Your little heart blocks are so cute.

I rarely work with plaids, but you keep tempting me with your gorgeous quilts. ❤️ the flying geese.

Tuesday rolls around every 7 days whether you are ready or not. The weeks get away from me so easily.
