When I wrote up my Make Nine for 2021, I realised that I had never talked about my Massive Plaidish quilt which I finished yonks back.  This quilt was for my bed, a king size.  I wanted it to be big enough to flop over the edges and keep all the drafts out.  Do you quilters all have quilts on your bed?  I do.  I employ a layering system with duvet, quilt and sometimes second quilt.  As the seasons change the layers change too.  I'm currently on the double quilt setting.

The pattern is a free download, the plaidish quilt from Kitchen Table Quilting.  I made it entirely from stash which is massively satisfying.  I increased the number of blocks and the quilt measures in at 83" square... that is 210cm.  I LOVE it... it is super bright and vibrant.  I love the plaidish look and I love all the fabrics.  There are lots of Alison Glass bits and Lizzy House, and all sorts of other lovely familiar (to me) bits which is I guess what happens when you go scrappy from stash.

The back was a labour of love as I was determined to use stash for that too.  It actually took ages to work out and piece... there is a fair bit of piecing in the back, but it was worth it.  I almost love the back more than the front.  It is made up of mainly linen cotton blends with some essex linen in there and a few bits of peppered cotton.  I pieced it as I went with no real plan... a bit of improv there.

I quilted it in concentric circles in Aurifil 40wt 4093: Jade... such a vibrant colour and you guessed it, from stash!!  Bound in a navy Moda Bella Solid.
