Bonnie/Yankee Quilter over at Scraps and Threadtales posted a wonderful vintage block in 2009.

I immediately drafted it and made a top out of reclaimed plaid fabrics.

The block is huge, 17 1/2 inches finished.
Then I lost the top.
For 7 years.
If you saw my sewing room you would understand.
A couple months ago I found it again, and had it quilted as a wedding gift for Andy's niece.
It really is a great block. Thanks, Bonnie, for sharing it--I hope you got your quilt made too!

Love the plaids.
Lovely quilt. Such a nice present. I understand you couldn't find your top. I do a lot of searching myself!!
This is so awesome! I love working with the recycled plaids! I think this is going on my list! Well done!

A lovely quilt! The plaids are wonderful!
Very nice and a funny story! I can relate to your sewing room. I seem to have one like it!
Love how it came out! I think mine is still a top...need to go get it out of the pile!
