I’ve been trying to look at my stash in creative ways. This time, I wanted to play with different shades of blue and thus, “Plaid Party” was designed in EQ8.

To make a 50″ square quilt you’ll need the yardage below, plus 3 yards for the backing, and 1/2 yard for the binding.When you play around with multiple colors, the quilt really starts to look like a granny square. If you choose the scrappy version, be sure to have the background be consistent as in the picture below:
