“Petit Plaid” Quilt Kit – Lo & Behold Stitchery

Quilt love in plaid look

A plaid that enchants: the “Petit Plaid” quilt kit based on Brittany's pattern (Lo & Behold Stitchery) is a modern love letter to the classic plaid design – straightforward, cozy, and without any retro dust. Here, a reduced look meets sophisticated technique: with strip-piecing and clever sewing, a woven effect is created that looks surprisingly real – as if the fabric strips were artfully interlaced.

The kit contains carefully coordinated solids from Art Gallery Fabrics' Pure Solids. Depending on the color variant, the pattern plays with exciting contrasts or soft tones – and the larger the quilt size, the more space for the full plaid effect.

And the best part: the technique is wonderfully thought out! Thanks to structured instructions and clever sewing logic, the journey to the finished quilt is really fun and makes the result look much more elaborate than it was. 

Whether as a cozy blanket, kids' quilt, or stylish sofa statement – “Petit Plaid” brings order to the color play and heartbeats to every sewing project.

Cover

Bold, cool, and a real eye-catcher – the “Cover Version” is the original design by Brittany (Lo & Behold Stitchery) and skillfully plays with contrasts: mustard yellow, pink, black, and a touch of baby blue come together in a plaid that shouts "statement" without being loud. The color combo feels modern and retro at the same time, reminiscent of college jackets, London street fashion, and strong personalities. This quilt has attitude – and just the right amount of edge.
