I have begun the next quilt in my Tartan Clan series. This one is based off of the MacLachlan Clan pattern.

I started with this group of plaid shirts ranging from green to pink with a little yellow thrown in for good measure.

I then cut out all of the hems and cuffs and straggly bits so that I have plain, flat fabric to work with.

Straggly bits..

Next comes strip piecing for similarly configured blocks. I think this pink and brown plaid is my favorite.

I couldn’t keep everything in order without my schematic.

Each section started with this central pink plaid square,

and became a section pieced together like this…

All the sections are now complete and are ready to be sewn together.

The quilt top will then go to my amazing quilter for the next layer of patterning. So stay tuned!
