Plaid Free Quilt Pattern by Billy Reue
Plaid uses sixteen large blocks made from squares and narrow rectangles, with a shared background fabric connecting the different print combinations. Each block finishes at fourteen inches, and the four-by-four arrangement is enclosed by a narrow border. Designed by Billy Reue with Kaleidoscope fabrics, the advanced-beginner quilt finishes at 60 inches square. Its fabric placement diagram distinguishes the main and secondary prints in each block and shows their positions across the finished top.
