Plaidy Cake Quilt

 I needed to make a quilt for someone whose tastes

in fabrics are not like mine at all.

The pattern was decided upon,

the layer cakes were purchased and

background fabric was found.

 

The pattern in "Plaidy Cake" by Cluck Cluck Sew.

It's an easy pattern to make and I love the look.

The fabric line was "Old School" and the background fabric

is a gray/blue.

 

The cutting began.

The first couple of blocks were made and

I HATED them.

UGH!!

 

I decided to keep working and see what happened.

 

 

 

 

 

Thankfully, once all of the blocks were made and sewn together,

I don't hate the quilt.

It is not my taste at all, but I do think it looks kind of cool.

 

 

 

 

 

It has an industrial vibe to it, which is kind of fun. 

 

 

It took a while to get the layout where I wanted it

and it's now at my quilter's.

I forgot to take a photo of the backing I made.

There were a number of 10" squares leftover, 

so I pieced those into the backing along with some yardage.

 

Once it's back from the quilter's,

I'll get it bound and it will be ready for gifting.

 

Happy Quilting!
