I’d been wanting to make a quilt for my son David for quite some time. I had a collection of plaids and homespun fabric that I thought he might like, but I couldn’t decide on a pattern that I thought would be to his liking.
One day I was flipping through my old quilting magazines when I stumbled upon this plaid dorm quilt from a Fons & Porter magazine.
Plaid Dorm Quilt from Fons & Porter
I thought this dorm quilt would be perfect since he is now living in a dorm after recently transferring to Cal Berkeley. I hope this quilt will bring him some warmth and comfort during the cool fall & winter seasons while he’s away from home.
The quilt has 168 five-inch finished squares and has a 12 x 14 setting. It has a soft flannel backing and measures 58” x 66”. I used Warm & Natural batting and quilted it myself with a simple line design.
I’m very happy with how it turned out and hope that David will treasure it forever!

What a gorgeous quilt for a man. I absolutely love those combinations of plaids.
Hey Rita, had to stop over and see your quilts! This is my favorite one. I have a quilt that is similar in coloring, and the simplicity is beautiful! Your "oops" log cabin quilt is gorgeous!!! Very intricate!
I love the colors in this one!!
