Precious Plaid Throw Quilt in Watercolor Textiles in Blues

This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!


Meet the Precious Plaid quilt pattern in Watercolor Textiles by Stephanie Ryan for P and B Textiles.

This is my first quilt pattern in a new pattern series called Donation Quilts, which will feature different quilt designs with large blocks made with large pieces so they 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 take up a lot of fabric.

The Precious Plaid quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.


Introducing Precious Plaid


This is one of five versions I made of Precious Plaid.  I can't remember the last time I made five quilt samples for a pattern release, but I just couldn't help myself when I was going through my fabric stash!  I have found that many fabrics work really well with the Precious Plaid design.  I am so happy with how they all turned out!

Precious Plaid works well in a multitude of color schemes.  For this quilt, I decided to use different shades of blue to create a waterfall-styled quilt.  I adore the use of blues in this quilt!  I love how it gives my home a happy cozy feeling.  

This quilt top was made by Kare Ybarra and quilted and bound by me.


Includes 5 Sizes


You know I love to spoil you with options when I can!  Precious Plaid is a quick and easy quilt 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 stunning quilt.  The pattern uses large blocks to go together quickly and with ease.  I enjoy working with larger blocks because it allows you to use less fabrics, which also uses less seams.  You'll get your quilt made in no time when you use the Precious Plaid quilt pattern!


Precious Plaid Quilt Kits


We have kitted Throw size Precious Plaid in these stunning blue watercolor prints!  The quilt kits include all of the fabric for the quilt top and binding, plus the quilt pattern.



Brilliant Blue Fabrics


I decided to make this version of Precious Plaid using the Color Stories Watercolor Textiles fabric collection by Stephanie Ryan for P and B Textiles.  This quilt incorporates a stunning collection of blues and white that complement each other perfectly to create a soothing design.  A quilt like this would make an excellent gift idea that would create beautiful lasting memories.

The fabrics in this quilt kit, in order listed in the quilt pattern, are as follows:

  1. Solid White
  2. CSTO-5226 LB
  3. CSTO-5226 B
  4. CSTO-5226 DB
  5. CSTO-5226-N

The Precious Plaid quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.



Longarm Quilting


This quilt was quilted on my new Handi Quilter Amara longarm that I named Gratitude.  The quilting design creates waves of fresh water across the beautiful blue quilt.  The name of this digital design is Coquina by Patricia Ritter.
