Does anyone have a pattern that is obviously Scottish in origin or look? My brother has asked for a quilt that would be of Scottish design or look. I know the Celtic Knot is one that would work, but he didn't say that, just Scottish. I'd love to see or know of as many as possible so I can sit with him to choose which he would like. Thanks in advance. Overlander/Barb
Any pattern that has a mountain or sea design would fit just fine. Also any clan tartan in nine patch squares or the Scottish flag design would be a nice touch.
I am very proud to have been born and raised in Scotland and embrace my heritage in everything I do....

I would think any thing with tartan plaids and a version of the thistle would be Scottish. I know that I found a paper pieced celtic knot on quilters cache at one time. Or quilted celtic knots in corner stones, perhaps?

My, that paperpieced Scottish thistle block is beautiful! If I were going to do a Scottish quilt, that's the block I would go for!
Something with a scottish thistle would be very traditional. Google images of scottish quilts. You will get loads of ideas.
Here are a few I found

How about the disappearing 4 patch? All squares togeter resemble plaid. You could vary the cuts to make an irregular lookig plaid. I would definitely add the thistle as applique. HMMM maybe I will make one now.
