What's your favorite quilt block pattern using plaids? Want to make a masculine quilt for my brother.

If you go to "search", then choose "advanced" and select pictures, you'll see some awesome homespun quilts. Do it twice - one time with "homespun" in the search and once adding the "s" so it's "homespuns," as you'll get different results.

I'm still collecting my homespuns, but someday will have a scrappy homespun quilt. Still trying to figure out if I should wash them ahead of time or not. Don't generally wash my fabrics, but am concerned with the loose weave that, if I don't, when the finished quilt is washed it will shrink in odd ways...

Good luck, hope you will post a picture of your quilt!
