I found this quilt on Pinterest and followed the link to the directions because I thought it was such a great example of “color gets the credit, value does the work”. Also, it used a lot of scraps! In particular, I had TWO bins full of 5″ charms from a swap group I used to belong to, and I used an entire bin to make this quilt 🙂

Yes! There were a lot of little intersections to match–good practice!
If you ask Ms. Google or search on Pinterest, you can see many variations made by other quilters.

Love it!
Thanks, Norma!
What an achievement — it looks like it took a lot of sewing to get the effect
Those tint strips were the main challenge 🙂
Nice! Matching those intersections would have done me in. Any tips?
Thanks for the idea! I’ll do a post on those pesky intersections 🙂
Thank you!
This looks like a true plaid, material magic! Love it!
Thanks! You can follow the link to the free pattern 🙂
These scraps have been sewn together into a convincing plaid fabric…ehhh, quilt. But all those ‘intersections?’ Yikes! Yours look impeccable, Zippy.
Thank you. I always appreciate hearing from you 🙂
I love this quilt!
Thanks! Seeing it on Pinterest convinced me I had to make it.
I love this quilt a lot! but I am also spooked by those tiny little squares in the sashing. I think I can manage that thin sashing but then I might just paint in the squares or hand stitch them. For me it would be faster than trying to match corners. 🙂
Aha! At Chela’s suggestion I’m doing a corner matching tutorial next Sunday! Thanks for commenting 🙂
Ok, I have cut most of my pieces and I have made the tops and bottoms of the dark blocks. Now I am just waiting for your tutorial before I do the precise piecing in the middle of the blocks!
I started with scraps, but I have three more colorways in my head too. I am not letting myself look on Pinterest for any other versions or I will get sidetracked. 🙂 I am so glad you showed us this quilt.
Wow! Good for you. Tutorial scheduled this coming Sunday. Can’t wait to see your version 🙂
