This is a string quilt made from some of my plaids. A string quilt is strips of fabric sewn to a foundation of paper or fabric. If you use paper, you use light weight paper like from an old phone book and it's just to give you a form for the square or rectangle block. When the pieces are sewn, you square up the block then tear away the paper. On this one I used light weight muslin and it was left on the quilt. It made it heavy so I didn't quilt it with batting. I used plaid fabric squares for the back. Kinda like using plaids this way.
