There is a wonderful old quilt on the frontispiece of Elise Schebler Roberts' The Quilt: A History and Celebration of an American Art Form that has me cutting 2 inch strips of my plaids and making 16 patches. I love the asymmetry of the block and it is rather mindless sewing that yields a good result. The blocks finish at 6 inches.

I just finished refolding fabric and found that I had more plaids and stripes than I realized. Now for time to do something with them. *smile*
I love your use of plaids. These will go into my to do file.
those blocks, they are fab. I am just off to my sewing room (aka spare bedroom) to have a go at some of those, they will use up the various little orphans I make when trying out a new block, Thanks for the inspiration.
