I am so happy to announce that I have a brand new quilt design to share with you called Precious Plaid. Precious Plaid is a design I have been working with for some time now, and the time has finally come when I can share it with you!
Precious Plaid is my first quilt pattern in a new pattern series called Donation Quilts, which will feature quilt designs with big blocks made of big pieces of fabric so they can go together quickly and more economically. The more seams a quilt top has in it, the more fabric is required to make it because seams use up a lot of fabric material.
The Precious Plaid quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.
Say Hello to Precious Plaid in Christmas colors!
This is one of five versions I made of Precious Plaid. I can't even recall the last time I made five quilt samples for a pattern release, but here we are!
Precious Plaid works so nicely in different color schemes. For this quilt, I went for a Christmas-y approach and used reds, greens, and light cream, to make a festive quilt. I oh-so-love the cheeriness that this quilt brings!
Available in 5 Sizes
You know I love spoiling you with multiple-size options. Precious Plaid is a fun and unique design that includes 5 sizes - Baby, Throw, Twin, Queen, and King. This quilt was made in the Throw size, which measures approximately 54" x 72".
Precious Plaid has easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, charts, and diagrams for cutting and piecing this delightful quilt. The pattern uses large blocks because it allows you to use fewer fabrics, which also uses fewer seams. You'll finish making your quilt in no time with the Precious Plaid quilt pattern!
Fantastic Flannel Fabric!
For this quilt, I decided to use the Mirage Tonals Flannels fabric collection by Connecting Threads, selecting from the reds, greens, and cream for a holiday-inspired quilt. With the holidays quickly approaching, I thought what better time to use the Christmas-y colors.
Below are the Mirage Tonals Flannel fabrics used in this quilt, listed in the order as shown in the pattern.
- Parchment
- Peapod
- Forest
- Red
- Dark Red
The backing is a flannel from the Winter Meadow Flannel collection at Connecting Threads, and the binding is Mirage Tonals Flannel in Forest.
The Precious Plaid quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.
Longarm Machine Quilting
This quilt was quilted on my Handi Quilter Amara longarm, named Gratitude. I used a digital design called Christmas Poinsettia by Hermione Agee in cream thread to continue the Christmas holiday theme.
