This is my first quilt pattern a new pattern series I created called Donation Quilts, which will feature different patterns in large blocks and large pieces so that they go together quickly and more economically. The more seams a quilt top needs, the more fabric is required to make the quilt because seams use up a lot of fabric.
The Precious Plaid quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.
Meet 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 pulling out fabrics that I thought would work well with Precious Plaid! And just look at how amazing this one turned out!
Precious Plaid looks good in many color schemes. For this quilt, I decided to use blacks, grays, and white for a bold and striking look. A quilt like this would look wonderful in a modern farmhouse-style home.
This quilt top was made by Kare Ybarra and quilted and bound by me.
So Many Sizes!
You know I love spoiling you with all the size options! Precious Plaid is a stunning quilt design that includes 5 sizes in all - Baby, Throw, Twin, Queen, and King. This quilt was made in the Throw size and measures about 54" x 72".
Precious Plaid has easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, charts, and diagrams for cutting and piecing this quilt. The pattern uses large blocks because it allows you to use less fabrics, which in turn uses less seams. You'll finish your own Precious Plaid quilt in no time!
Beautiful Fabric
For this quilt, I used the Dewdrops fabric collection by Windham Fabrics. Dewdrop is an older fabric collection that came in a rainbow of fabrics. We previous stocked the entire collection and kitted Waterfall II quilt kits. For this quilt, the black and gray prints were selected to make this quilt stand out. A quilt like this would look great as a gift for someone with a modern, neutral decor style.
The backing is Basic Shades in Granite by Riley Blake, available right here in our shop.

Longarm Machine Quilting
This Precious Plaid quilt was quilted on my Handi Quilter Amara longarm machine using a triangle design called Zing by Sarah Ann Meyers / Patricia Ritter in light gray thread.
