In January I posted about cutting pieces to make Plaid-ish at some time in the future when I wanted some simple piecing to do. That time arrived this week! On Sunday and Monday I sewed all my cut pieces into blocks.
Today I took the blocks along to a sit and sew day, laid them out, and shuffled them around a bit,
then sewed them all together into a top:
I can see a couple of places where the "medium" fabrics are a bit too light or too dark, but in general the plaid-like effect is visible. It works best where there is a clear difference between the darks, mediums and lights. It's an exercise in value! It was a good project for a time when I just needed something simple to sew. I'm so glad I cut all those pieces in January.
The pattern is a freebie from Kitchen Table Quilting, available here.

This looks great. The groups of four big light squares are most successful. The pattern would be amazing for a really big quilt!
