Plaid Quilt

I have always loved plaids. Making a plaid quilt has been on my idea list for a couple decades. This is the beginning.

10" squares with the solid navy appliqued by hand. Each square is different - primarily plaids with a few stripes. Color ranges in blues, maroons and dark tans.

Not sure yet how big this project will be. I'll go until I run out of fabric. It will probably be lap size.

Progress with Rob's creation

During a few days off from my day job, I worked on adding more layers to this wall hanging. The white horseshoe crabs will have black eyes and shell details.

The center quilting has begun with ditch and 1/4" lines quilting. The dark blue will have wave quilting lines.

The only layer left to add is a ring of sail boats on the dark blue ring.
