soft bit of yellow, remind me of the falling leaves
There are 3 sizes of this plaid in the full collection: large, medium and small. If you want another size, just ask.
The large size is perfect for a cheater quilt, a duvet cover, or a throw blanket. The medium size is also very useful for home decor items. The medium and small versions are good for shirts, blouses, dresses, possibly tote bags. The small version is perfect for doll clothes and quilts, or for furnishings in a doll house. Here at my house we make quilts for family pets too. Sometimes I get carried away! Once I even made a small quilt for my daughter's pet lizard.
Plaids are always great for quilts! I always set my designs as available for wall paper as well as fabric, because one never knows what clever idea a maker will come up with.
Plaids are just about THE most successful design ever created and are available in just about any color combination you could imagine. Here is an interesting article about plaids from the Smithsonian: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/brief-history-plaid-180957342/
This next URL has photos of some lovely ways to combine plaids with gingham or florals in a quilt: https://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1/plaid-checkered-fabric-what-do-t182991.html
As for garment sewing - vests, jackets, shirts, blouses and dresses are all great candidates for a plaid fabric. This next URL shows inspiring photos of plaid garments, and also offers instruction on how to work with a plaid fabric: https://www.craftsy.com/sewing/article/working-with-plaid-fabric/
